Now falls the Sun
Now falls the sun through darkening skies,
I watch from earth, my shadow flies,
That glowing fire that lit my day,
Has passed its route, and had its way,
Now willingly it yields its throne,
To other powers less well known,
As if it knows it yields to night,
It offers up a glorious sight,
The sky is splashed in glorious paint,
No human hand would aught but taint,
A glowing hearth, a blazing star,
A bloodied head, a precious scar,
As valiant day gave way to night,
It lit the sky with glorious light,
The colors ran, the day was done,
The night had come, and I lived on,
As fell the sun, through glorious skies,
I watched from earth, before my eyes,
The darkness came and covered all,
And I was left give the call,
Night is dark, and darkness long,
But soon His hand will bring the dawn.
