The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended ;
âThe darkness falls at thy behest ;
To thee our morning hymns ascended,
âThy praise shall sanctify our rest.
âThe darkness falls at thy behest ;
To thee our morning hymns ascended,
âThy praise shall sanctify our rest.
We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping,
âWhile earth rolls onward into light.
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
âAnd rests not now by day or night.
âWhile earth rolls onward into light.
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
âAnd rests not now by day or night.
As o'er each continent and island
âThe dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
âNor dies the strain of praise away.
âThe dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
âNor dies the strain of praise away.
