1.
The sun is sinking fast,
the daylight dies;
let love awake, and pay
her evening sacrifice.
2.
As Christ upon the cross
his head inclined,
Into his Father’s hands
his parting soul resigned;
3.
So now herself my soul
would wholly give
into his sacred charge
in whom all spirits live;
4.
One sacred Trinity,
one Lord divine,
myself for ever his,
and he for ever mine.
The Sun Is Sinking Fast Lyrics
