1 As now the sun's declining rays Towards the eve descend, E'en so our years are sinking down To their appointed end. 2 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. 3 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost, All glory be from saints on earth, And from the angel host.
