Day is dying in the west

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.
 
Holy, holy, holy,
  Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
    O Lord, most high!
2
Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us, who seek Thy face,
To the 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.

Bring back memories of our vespers. As the sun gone down on Friday we gather for our family worship!

Chorus is different:

Near me! Near me! Near me!

I can draw nigh!

Heart and spirit long for Thee.

Long, Thy lovely face to see—

O Lord most nigh!
