The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
O Master of the world, my Lord,
Within your feet, accord.
Within your feet, accord.
The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
You are the soul of this frail frame,
Yet always I forgot your name.
You are the soul of this frail frame,
Yet always I forgot your name.
Youth's fleeting gold, I did not heed,
Forever did your love recede.
Your sacred feet, my lake of grace,
Within your love, embrace.
Within your love, embrace.
The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
I cast aside the purest gold,
And brass, instead, did hold.
I cast aside the purest gold,
And brass, instead, did hold.
In desert thirst, a phantom gleam,
My wandering heart, a troubled dream.
Your servant begs, a humble plea,
Within your heart, set me free.
Within your heart, set me free.
The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
O Master of the world, my Lord,
Within your feet, accord.
Within your feet, accord.
The Lord's day wanes, the shadows grow,
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
Embrace me now, I beg you so.
