Iam sol recedit igneus

As fades the glowing orb of day,

To thee, great source of light, we pray;

Blest Three in One, to every heart

Thy beams of life and love impart.

At early dawn, at close of day,

To thee our vows we humbly pay;

May we, mid joys that never end,

With thy bright saints in homage bend.

To God the Father, and the Son,

And Holy Spirit, Three in One,

Be endless glory, as before

The world began, so evermore.

Amen.
