VERSE 1
The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended.
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 3
As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of pray'r is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
VERSE 4
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.
VERSE 5
So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
