English text

Lo! the day is deepening;
Night is nigh at hand;
Shadows fall, and darken
Over sea and land;
Storm and shine are ended,
Toil is past and blest;
Take thy welcome slumber,
Take thy well-won rest.

Lo! the years are closing;
Night is nigh for thee;
When, like earth and ocean,
Thou at peace shall be;
Fold thy hands together,
Lay them on thy breast;
Thou hast done thy life work,
Enter into rest.
