Song Lyrics
The duteous day now closeeth
Each flower and tree repeseth
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
Now all the heavenly 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
Awhile his mortal blindness
May miss God's loving kindness
And grope in faithless strife
But when life's day is over
Shall death's fair night discover
The fields of everlasting life
