1  Day is dying in the west,

    Heav'n is touching earth with rest,

    Wait and worship while the night

    Sets her evening lamps alight

       Through all the sky.

 2  Lord of life, beneath the dome

    Of the universe, Thy home,

    Gather us, who seek Thy face,

    To fold of Thy embrace,

       For Thou art nigh.

 3  While the deepening shadows fall,

    Heart of love, enfolding all,

    Through the glory and the grace

    Of the stars that veil Thy face,

       Our hearts ascend.
