The sun is sinking fast,

Sheet Music

Hymn Text

Verse 1

The sun is sinking fast,
the daylight dies;
let love awake, and pay
her evening sacrifice.

Verse 2

As Christ upon the cross
his head inclined,
Into his Father's hands
his parting soul resigned;

Verse 3

So now herself my soul
would wholly give
into his sacred charge
in whom all spirits live;

Verse 4

One sacred Trinity,
one Lord divine,
myself for ever his,
and he for ever mine.
