About the Hymn

John Ellerton (1826–1893) wrote this calm evening text in the 19th century. Its customary tune is ST CLEMENT by Clement C. Scholefield (1839–1904), whose gentle rise and fall mirrors the passing of the day and the ceaseless praise of the global Church.

The hymn celebrates the unbroken prayer of God’s people around the world — as one time zone darkens, another dawns with praise. It is often sung at night services and civic occasions, reminding worshippers that His Kingdom stands sure.
