<poem>
The radiant morn hath pass'd away,
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.
Our life is but a fad-ing dawn, Its glorious noon, its noon how quickly past; Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone, Safe home at last.
Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, Eternal Light of Light, Art Lord of all.
