|
|
<p>The sun is sinking fast,<br>
|
|
The daylight dies;<br>
|
|
Let love awake, and pay<br>
|
|
Her evening sacrifice.</p>
|
|
<p>As Christ upon the cross<br>
|
|
His head inclined,<br>
|
|
And to His Father’s hands<br>
|
|
His parting soul resigned;</p>
|
|
<p>So now herself my soul<br>
|
|
Would wholly give<br>
|
|
Into His sacred charge<br>
|
|
In Whom all spirits live;</p>
|
|
<p>So now beneath His eye<br>
|
|
Would calmly rest,<br>
|
|
Without a wish or thought<br>
|
|
Abiding in the breast;</p>
|
|
<p>Save that His will be done,<br>
|
|
Whate’er betide;<br>
|
|
Dead to herself, and dead<br>
|
|
In Him to all beside.</p>
|
|
<p>Thus would I live: yet now<br>
|
|
Not I, but He,<br>
|
|
In all His power and love,<br>
|
|
Henceforth alive in me.</p>
|
|
<p>One sacred Trinity,<br>
|
|
One Lord divine,<br>
|
|
May I be ever His,<br>
|
|
And He forever mine.</p>
