Another day is past and gone
From Oremus Hymnal
Another day is past and gone,
O God, we bow to thee;
again, as nightly shades come on
to thy defense we flee.
Forgive us all the evil done,
the good undone, today;
and keep us from the wicked one,
now, Father, and for aye.
When shall that day of gladness come,
ne'er sinking in the west;
that country and that blessèd home,
where none shall break our rest;
Where life shall be all love and peace,
and pleasure without end;
where golden harps that never cease
with joyous hymns shall blend;
Where we, O God, preserved beneath
the shelter of thy wing,
for evermore thy praise shall breathe,
and of thy mercy sing?
