Original text and translations

English text

1  Our day of praise is done; The evening shadows fall; But pass not from us with the sun, True light, that lightenest all! 2  Around the throne on high, Where night can never be, The white-robed harpers of the sky Bring endless hymns to thee.

3  Too faint our anthems here; Too soon of praise we tire; But O the strains, how full and clear, Of that eternal choir! 4  Yet, Lord, to thy dear will If thou wilt tune the heart, We in thine angels' music still May hear our lower part.

5  'Tis thine each soul to calm, Each wayward thought reclaim, And make our life a daily psalm Of glory to thy name. 6  A little while, and then Shall come the glorious end, And songs of angels and of men In perfect praise shall blend.
