Before The Day Draws Near Its Ending

Before the day draws near its ending,

And evening steals o'er earth and sky

Once more to Thee our hymns ascending

Shall speak Thy praises, Lord Most High.

O Light all clear, O Truth most holy,

O boundless Mercy pardoning all,

Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly,

With one last prayer, Thy children fall.

When we no more on earth adore Thee,

And others worship here in turn,

O may we sing that song before Thee,

Which none but Thy redeemed can learn. Amen.

"Before The Day Draws Near Its Ending"

John Ellerton

(1826-1893)

English clergyman and hymn writer
