EN 614 The Duteous Day Now Closeth

Ps.19.1

Versi Version 1

1

The duteous day now closeth,

Each flower and tree reposeth,

Shade creeps o’er wild and wood:

Let us, as night is falling,

On God our Maker calling,

Give thanks to Him, the Giver good.

2

Now all the heav’nly splendor

Breaks forth in starlight tender

From myriad worlds unknown;

And man, the marvel seeing,

Forgets his selfish being,

For joy of beauty not his own.

3

His care he drowneth yonder,

Lost in the abyss of wonder;

To Heav’n his soul doth steal:

This life he disesteemeth,

The day it is that dreameth,

That doth from truth his vision seal.

4

Awhile his mortal blindness

May miss God’s lovingkindness,

And grope in faithless strife:

But when life’s day is over

Shall death’s fair night discover

The fields of everlasting life.
