[00:00.00]The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended - The Choir of King's College, Cambridge/Simon Preston/David Willcocks
[00:02.80]The day thou gavest lord is ended
[00:11.58]The darkness falls at thy behest
[00:20.19]To thee our morning hymns ascended
[00:28.64]Thy praise shall sanctify our rest
[00:40.56]We thank thee that thy church unsleeping
[00:49.05]While earth rolls onward into light
[00:57.88]Through all the world her watch is keeping
[01:06.71]And rests not now by day or night
[01:18.50]As o'er each continent and island
[01:27.49]The dawn leads on another day
[01:36.39]The voice of prayer is never silent
[01:45.28]Nor dies the strain of praise away
[01:57.70]The sun that bids us rest is waking
[02:06.74]Our brethren 'neath the western sky
[02:15.65]And hour by hour fresh lips are making
[02:24.26]Thy wondrous doings heard on high
[02:36.22]So be it lord thy throne shall never
[02:45.78]Like earth's proud empires pass away
[02:54.90]Thy kingdom stands and grows for ever
[03:04.05]Till all thy creatures own thy sway
