Lyrics to the hymn, Day Is Dying In The West

 

A cliff. With trees.


Introduction

Hello. I am a Mother of Gooses and a lover of hymns; I consider them to be a work of art. And they bring glory to God, our Creator and Redeemer, and Friend. 


In the shadow of the mountain...

The Subject At Hand


Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Day Is Dying In The West; it was written in 1878 by Mary A. Lathbury, and it is now published in 561 hymnals.

If you don't know how the tune goes, I'll leave some links down below.

The Lyrics


Verse 1 

Day is dying in the west,

Heav'n is touching earth with rest;

Wait and worship while the night 

Sets her evening lamps alight 

Through all the sky.

Refrain:

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts!

Heav'n and Earth are full of Thee;

Heav'n and Earth are praising Thee,

O Lord most high!

Verse 2 

Lord of life, beneath the dome

Of the universe, Thy home,

Gather us who seek Thy face

To the fold of Thy embrace,

For Thou art nigh. 

(Refrain)

Verse 3 

While the deep'ning shadows fall,

Heart of Love, enfolding all,

Through the glory and the grace

Of the stars that veil Thy face,

Our hearts ascend.

(Refrain)

Verse 4 

When forever from our sight

Pass the stars, the day, the night,

Lord of angels, on our eyes 

Let eternal morning rise,

And shadows end.

(Refrain)

A field


Afterwards

"When forever from our sight pass the stars, the day, the night."

What a lovely song; Mary A. Lathbury did a great job.

Autumn mountains

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
