<p>As now the sun’s declining rays<br>
|
|
At eventide descend,<br>
|
|
So life’s brief day is sinking down<br>
|
|
To its appointed end.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, on the cross Thine arms were stretched,<br>
|
|
To draw Thy people nigh;<br>
|
|
O grant us then that cross to love,<br>
|
|
And in those arms to die.</p>
|
|
<p>All glory to the Father be,<br>
|
|
All glory to the Son,<br>
|
|
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,<br>
|
|
While endless ages run.</p>
