- 1Our day of praise is done;
- The evening shadows fall;
- But pass not from us with the sun,
- True Light that light'nest all.
- 2Around the throne on high,
- Where night can never be,
- The white-robed harpers of the sky
- Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee.
- 3Too faint our anthems here;
- Too soon of praise we tire:
- But O the strains how full and clear
- Of that eternal choir!
- 4Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will
- If Thou attune the heart,
- We in Thine angels' music still
- May bear our lower part.
- 5'Tis Thine each soul to calm,
- Each wayward thought reclaim,
- And make our life a daily psalm
- Of glory to Thy Name.
- 6A little while, and then
- Shall come the glorious end;
- And songs of angels and of men
- In perfect praise shall blend.
