This hymn has a unique tune

 

 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.

 

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!

 

 2  Lord of life, beneath the dome

    Of the universe, Thy home,

    Gather us, who seek Thy face,

    To fold of Thy embrace,

       For Thou art nigh.

 

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!

 

 3  While the deepening shadows fall,

    Heart of love, enfolding all,

    Through the glory and the grace

    Of the stars that veil Thy face,

       Our hearts ascend.

 

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!
