Our day of praise is done;

by James Edmeston

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 58 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Our day of praise is done; The evening shadows fall; But pass not from us with the sun, True Light that lightenest all.

Verse 2

Around the throne on high, Where night can never be, The white robed harpers of the sky Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee.

Verse 3

Too faint our anthems here; Too soon of praise we tire; But O the strains, how full and clear, Of that eternal choir!

Verse 4

’Tis Thine each soul to calm, Each wayward thought reclaim, And make our life a daily psalm Of glory to Thy Name.

Verse 5

A little while, and then Shall come the glorious end; And songs of angels and of men In perfect praise shall blend.
