Song based on the Bible verse:
Psalm 45:6
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

The Lord’s name is to be praised.

1
The day you gave us Lord is ended
The darkness falls at Your behest
To You our morning hymns ascended
Your praise shall hallow now our rest
2
We thank You that Your church unsleeping
While earth rolls onward into light
Through all the world her watch is keeping
And rests not now by day or night
3
As o’er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day
The voice of pray’r is never silent
Nor dies the strain of praise away
4
The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren ‘neath the western sky
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Your wondrous doings heard on high
5
So be it Lord Your throne shall never
Like earth’s proud empires pass away
But stand and rule and grow forever
‘Til all Your creatures own Your sway
