Haha this is beautiful.
I picked this one because I like the lyrics and the potential use in Vespers type services. It is in 4 flats as well as 6/4 time, so it was the perfect candidate for MIDI-fying to find out what it really sounds like.
What is totally hilarious is that as I was playing around with different MIDI voices I decided to continue my theme of dance music... I added a "beat" to it even though it is basically in a three count... so now we have two MP3's of the day ... REEEEMIIIIXXXXXX!!!!!!!
Day is dying in the west;
Heaven is touching earth with rest:
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Chorus--
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee!
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
Our Lord most high!
...
When forever from Thy sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end.
Heaven is touching earth with rest:
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Through all the sky.
Chorus--
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of Thee!
Heaven and earth are praising Thee,
Our Lord most high!
...
When forever from Thy sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise
And shadows end.
(Chorus)
