56- The Day Thou Gavest

Worship: Evening Worship

1

  • The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
  • The darkness falls at Thy behest;
  • To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
  • Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.

2

  • We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping,
  • While earth rolls onward into light,
  • Through all the world her watch is keeping,
  • And rests not now by day or night.

3

  • As o'er each continent and island
  • The dawn leads on another day,
  • The voice of prayer is never silent,
  • Nor die the strains of praise away.

4

  • So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
  • Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
  • Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever,
  • Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
