Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHHHIJKJ LKMKLNFN DOPOMQRQ LSTSUVFV| The God of the day has vanished | A |
| The light from the hills has fled | B |
| And the hand of an unseen artist | C |
| Is painting the west all red | B |
| All threaded with gold and crimson | D |
| And burnished with amber dye | E |
| And tipped with purple shadows | F |
| The glory flameth high | E |
| - | |
| Fair beautiful world of ours | G |
| Fair beautiful world but oh | H |
| How darkened by pain and sorrow | H |
| How blackened by sin and woe | H |
| The splendour pales in the heavens | I |
| And dies in a golden gleam | J |
| And alone in the hush of twilight | K |
| I sit in a chequered dream | J |
| - | |
| I think of the souls that are straying | L |
| In the shadows as black as the night | K |
| Of hands that are groping blindly | M |
| In search of a shining light | K |
| Of hearts that are mutely crying | L |
| And praying for just one ray | N |
| To lead them out of the shadows | F |
| Into the better way | N |
| - | |
| And I think of the Father's children | D |
| Who are trying to walk alone | O |
| Who have dropped the hand of the Parent | P |
| And wander in ways unknown | O |
| Oh the paths are rough and thorny | M |
| And I know they cannot stand | Q |
| They will faint and fall by the wayside | R |
| Unguarded by God's right hand | Q |
| - | |
| And I think of the souls that are yearning | L |
| To folow the good and true | S |
| They are striving to live unsullied | T |
| Yet I know not what to do | S |
| And I wonder when God the Master | U |
| Shall end this weary strife | V |
| And lead us out of the shadows | F |
| Into the deathless life | V |
