The Day, O Lord, Is Spent

Verse 1

The day, O Lord, is spent;
Abide with us, and rest;
Our hearts’ desires are fully bent
On making Thee our Guest.

Verse 2

We have not reached that land,
That happy land, as yet,
Where holy angels round Thee stand,
Whose sun can never set.

Verse 3

Our sun is sinking now;
Our day is almost o’er;
O Sun of Righteousness, do Thou
Shine on us evermore.

Verse 4

From men below the skies,
And all the heavenly host,
To God the Father praise arise,
The Son, and Holy Ghost.
