The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended is a Christian hymn written by the Anglican hymnodist the Rev John Ellerton (1826–1893) in 1870 for its inclusion in A Liturgy for Missionary Meetings. It is often sung to the tune of St Clement and its theme focusses on the worldwide fellowship of the church and its continual offering of prayer and praise to God.[1]
The hymn has an enduring popularity, coming in third place in a BBC Songs of Praise poll of favourite hymns in 2005.[4]
Two different translations of Ellerton's text are included in German official hymnals, the current Protestant hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch (EG) and the Catholic (Gotteslob, 2013, No. 96).
