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.
We thank Thee that Thy Church, unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Thru all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night.
The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky; And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So, be it, Lord: Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away; But stand and rule and grow for ever, Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
