Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia. HYMNAs sun declines and shadows fall, The sea and hills will fade from sight; Its fiery orb bids us farewell But promises tomorrow's light. And this, O God, creator wise, You regulate in wondrous way The laws of this great universe At which we marvel night and day. While darkness rides across the sky, And stars their silent watches keep, Your children leave their constant toil, Regaining strength by peaceful sleep. Made rich in hope, kept strong in faith, May we be blest throughout the night, By Christ, the Word, who timeless reigns, True splendor of the Father’s light. He is the sun that never sets, No dusk can make his lustre die, The kind Protector of the earth, The joys of all the saints on high. O Father, Son and Spirit blest Grant us at last that light to see, And full of joy your praises sing, Bathed in your love eternally. Amen. 𝄞"As Sun Declines and Shadows Fall" by Kathleen Lundquist • Title: As Sun Declines and Shadows Fall; Text: Sol, ecce, lentus occident, Novus; Translation: St. Cecilia's Abbey, Ryde, Isle of Wight, UK; Tune: Chant, Mode I; Lumen Christi Hymnal; Artist: Kathleen Lundquist; Recording copyright 2016 by Surgeworks, Inc. • Albums that contain this Hymn: Divine Office PSALMODY Ant. 1 Eagerly we await the fulfillment of our hope, the glorious coming of our Savior. Psalm 62 Peace in God May God, the source of our hope, fill your hearts with peace as you believe in him (Romans 15:13). In God alone is my soul at rest; my help comes from him. He alone is my rock, my stronghold, my fortress: I stand firm. How long will you all attack one man to break him down, as though he were a tottering wall, or a tumbling fence? Their plan is only to destroy: they take pleasure in lies. With their mouth they utter blessing but in their heart they curse. In God alone be at rest, my soul; for my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock, my stronghold, my fortress: I stand firm. In God is my safety and glory, the rock of my strength. Take refuge in God, all you people. Trust him at all times. Pour out your hearts before him for God is our refuge. Common folk are only a breath, great men an illusion. Placed in the scales, they rise; they weigh less than a breath. Do not put your trust in oppression nor vain hopes on plunder. Do not set your heart on riches even when they increase. For God has said only one thing: only two do I know: that to God alone belongs power and to you, Lord, love; and that you repay each man according to his deeds. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Psalm-prayer Lord God, you reward each one according to his works. Hear us as we pour out our hearts to you seeking your grace and secure protection. We look to you for our stable hope in a constantly changing world. Ant. Eagerly we await the fulfillment of our hope, the glorious coming of our Savior. Ant. 2 May God turn his radiant face toward us and fill us with his blessings. Psalm 67 People of all nations will worship the Lord You must know that God is offering his salvation to all the world (Acts 28:28). O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shed its light upon us. So will your ways be known upon earth and all nations learn your saving help. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. Let the nations be glad and exult for you rule the world with justice. With fairness you rule the peoples, you guide the nations on earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. The earth has yielded its fruit for God, our God, has blessed us. May God still give us his blessing till the ends of the earth revere him. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Psalm-prayer Be gracious and bless us, Lord, and let your face shed its light on us, so that we can make you known with reverence: and bring forth a harvest of justice. Ant. May God turn his radiant face toward us and fill us with his blessings. Ant. 3 Through him all things were made; he holds all creation together in himself. Canticle – Colossians 1:12-20 Christ the first-born of all creation and the first-born from the dead Let us give thanks to the Father for having made you worthy to share the lot of the saints in light. He rescued us from the power of ...
