The sun is sinking fast
(ST. COLUMBA. 6.4.6.6)
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,
And to 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.
Thus would I live: yet now
Not I, but he
In all his power and love
Henceforth alive in me:
5.
One sacred Trinity,
One Lord Divine;
Myself for ever his,
And he for ever mine.
