[00:01.68]The day thou gavest lord is ended
[00:09.24]The darkness falls at thy behest
[00:17.34]To thee our morning hymns ascended
[00:25.37]Thy praise shall sanctify our rest
[00:36.21]We thank thee that thy church unsleeping
[00:44.18]While earth rolls onward into light
[00:52.21]Through all the world her watch is keeping
[01:00.50]And rests not now by day or night
[01:11.39]As o'er each continent and island
[01:19.16]The dawn leads on another day
[01:27.53]The voice of prayer is never silent
[01:35.94]Nor dies the strain of praise away
[01:48.37]The sun that bids us rest is waking
[01:55.75]Our brethren 'neath the western sky
[02:03.93]And hour by hour fresh lips are making
[02:12.44]Thy wondrous doings heard on high
[02:24.08]So be it lord thy throne shall never
[02:32.17]Like earth's proud empires pass away
[02:40.18]Thy kingdom stands and grows forever
[02:48.80]Till all thy creatures own thy sway
