-As now the sun's declining rays
-at eventide descend,
-so life’s brief day is sinking down
-to its appointed end.
-Lord, on the Cross Thine arms were stretch’d
-to draw Thy people nigh;
-O grant us then that cross to love,
-and in those arms to die.
-All glory to God the Father be,
-all glory to the Son,
-all glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
-while endless ages run.}}
