I play this every Friday night to welcome Sabbath. It just makes me smile to see the love of Jesus written all over you lovely ladies. May God bless each one of you.
Thank you for posting this beautiful video. My great-great-great grandfather was the co-writer of this song with Mary Lathbury on the shores of beautiful Chautauqua Lake in Western New York.
1 Day is dying in the west; Heaven is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets the evening lamps alight Through all the sky. Refrain Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Heaven and earth are full of Thee! Heaven and earth are praising Thee, O Lord most high! 2 Lord of life, beneath the dome Of the universe, Thy home, Gather us who seek Thy face To the fold of Thy embrace, For Thou art nigh. 3 While the deepening shadows fall, Heart of love enfolding all, Through the glory and the grace Of the stars that veil Thy face, Our hearts ascend. 4 When forever from our sight Pass the stars, the day, the night, Lord of angels, on our eyes Let eternal morning rise And shadows end.
God is so awesome! So faithful. I live in San Antonio Texas and at 8:30pm I go to my balcony to watch the sunset. Yesterday as I did I was thanking God for everything when suddenly the Holy Spirit out this song in my heart and I started to sing it Mind you the last time I remember singing this in the choir was 40 plus years ago as a little girl. I was so very thrilled. Praise God. I went online and found this. Just really awesome!
From the age of 9 to 16 I went to summer camp at camp Heritage located at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. In the begining as a camper and than as a camper and the other weeks as a staff member. The campfire bowl sat on a hillside that overlooked the lake. After doing summer camp activites all day and week long, that included waterfront activites which kept the lake very busy. At the end of each day was campfire at the campfire bowl. The view at dusk of the water of lake being sto still was not only gorgous but also a quieting and peacefull setting. As dusk deepend into nigh and the stars came out it was just a warm inspiration that I looked forward to each day. At the end of each fun filled week was the sabbath campfires on Friday and Saturday evenings and as dusk turned to night we would sing this song Day is dying in the west. The picturesque view became even more beautiful as we sang this song togeather. The day was at peace, the water was at peace, the evening was at peach, we were at peace, our hearts were at peace. There is not a song that has more meaning and fills my soul more than this song. Thank you for sharing your voice and this singing this song.
Ladies, your voices are so beautiful. God has blessed you all with this gift. Have you ever considered doing a project of an acapella rendition of all these hymns? I for one would so appreciate it. God bless you all.
Oh, yes, I am blessed!! Yes! That song was frequently sung in our Montana farm house in the 1950s. Love that song! And absolutely love the way you sing it! Praise the God of Creation!
I love this hymn and i love the way you ladies are singing it. Thank you. When i get to Heaven I'm going to learn how to sing like this, even if it takes me ten thousand years!!!

This was absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing and blessing us with your God given gift of music - so beautifully arranged. I felt like I was listening to the angels sing. What a delight you three are! More so wonderful was the look of love on your sweet faces that you have for the Living God while you were singing His praises. I will sing with you ladies in Heaven! May God keep in you in His tender care always.

When forever from our sight pass the stars, the day, the night, Lord of angels, on our eyes let eternal morning rise and shadows end. (Refrain)
Psalm 65:8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. A beautiful harmony of the rejoicing of the outgoings of the evening sun. Thank you!
Thank you sisters for sharing this inspirational evening hymn. What beautifully blended voices! Keep on singing for Jesus! May God continue use u to convey His message of love to this world through music.
Beautiful! 60 years ago when attending Levenshulme Girls High School in Manchester , UK . We learned this hymn to perform in the Manchester Free Trade Hall, for a concert for the parents. Brings back so many memories. I could remember the first verse and the chorus but not the second verse and now I have that too!
I needed this today. Thank you so much! My mommy taught this to me and we would sing it as a family at sundown for sabbath. My daddy couldn’t carry a tune but he sang out loud making his joyful noise as he said. ❤️ I will listen to this and sing with you now. Thank you again. Happy sabbath
I love this song I wish you all would post more songs like this one I grew up with old hymns and miss them and your singing is Beautiful also God Bless!! Julia & son's Timmy & Josish
That was lovely. I saw these lyrics from many years ago and went to Google to find out more. An acapella version on the beach far exceeded my expectations. Thanks for sharing this.
Is there a studio version of this without the tractor sound in the background? If so, may I play it at my mother's funeral? It was her wish to have this song at her services. Thank you. Beautiful!

Was your g,g,g,grandfather William F. Sherwin, the writer of the tune? Or did he also assist with some of the lyrics by M. Lathbury?
O what a history....and we are enjoying it today#legacy #pioneersfaith
Awesome....it's one of my favorite Sabbath songs.
What a lovely group of sisters in Christ! Thank you. Though recorded 7 yrs ago, this video still "sings."

Day is dying in the west;
Heaven is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets the evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Refrain
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee!
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!

Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh.

While the deepening shadows fall,
Heart of love enfolding all,
Through the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend.

When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end.
