The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended,
The Darkness Falls At Your Request;
To You Our Morning Hymns Ascended,
Your Praise Shall Sanctify Our Rest.
We Thank You That Your Church, Unsleeping
While Earth Rolls Onward Into Light,
Through All The World Her Watch Is Keeping
And Never Rests By Day Or Night.
As Over Continent And Island
Each Dawn Leads To Another Day,
The Voice Of Prayer Is Never Silent,
Nor Do The Praises Die Away.
So Be It, Lord! Your Throne Shall Never,
Like Earth’s Proud Empires, Pass Away;
Your Kingdom Stands And Grows Forever
Until There Dawns Your Glorious Day.
