Welcome the set of sun;
Cheer up, my heart, with gladness!
Thou, free from sin and sadness,
Wilt joy when life’s long task is done.
Tired limbs, how toil oppressed you!
Ye long in bed to rest you,
And thou, my weary head!
A little longer tarry,
Till this worn frame they carry,
To rest in earth’s green narrow bed.
