| In the temple of my heart | B |
| And yon sunset sure is singing | A |
| Nunc dimittis Now depart | B |
| Ah the eve is golden clouded | C |
| But to morrow's sun shall shine | D |
| On this weary body shrouded | C |
| But my soul doth not repine | D |
| - | |
| Let me see the sun descending | A |
| I will see his light no more | E |
| For my life this eve is ending | A |
| And to morrow on the shore | E |
| That is fair and white and golden | D |
| I will meet my God and ye | F |
| Will forget not all the olden | D |
| Happy hours ye spent with me | F |

| I am glad that I am going | A |
| What a strange and sweet delight | G |
| Is thro' all my being flowing | A |

| Who will crown me when I greet Him | H |

| My last sun haste hurry westward | K |
| In the dark of this to night | G |
| My poor soul that hastens rest ward | L |
| With the Lamb' will find the light | G |

| Soft and stealthy cometh he | F |
| But I do not believe I fear him | H |
| God is now so close to me | F |

| Fell the daylight's fading glimmer | M |
| On a face so wan and white | G |
| Brighter was his soul while dimmer | M |
| Grew the shadows of the night | G |
| And he died and God was near him | H |
| I knelt by him to forgive | N |
| And I sometimes seem to hear him | H |
| Whisper Live as I did live | O |
