translated by William John Downes | ||
1. Finiĝas nun alia tago, | 1. The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, | |
jam venis la vespera hor'. | The darkness falls at Thy behest; | |
Kunvenis ni por adorago | To Thee our morning hymns ascended, | |
plaĉanta al la Di-Sinjor' | Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. | |
2. Ni dankas Vin, Savanto nia, | 2. We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping, | |
ke sur la tuta mond-teren' | While earth rolls onward into light, | |
la sankta eklezio Via | Through all the world her watch is keeping, | |
staradas firme ĉe posten'. | And rests not now by day or night. | |
3. Ruliĝas tero, brilas lumo | 3. As o’er each continent and island | |
de ne-ĉesanta maten-glor'. | The dawn leads on another day, | |
Leviĝas laŭdo, preĝ-parfumo | The voice of prayer is never silent, | |
konstante, kiel dolĉ-odor'. | Nor dies the strain of praise away. | |
4. Ekdormas ni post sun-subiro; | 4. The sun that bids us rest is waking | |
gefratoj en la okcident' | Our brethren ’neath the western sky, | |
vekiĝas kun novtag-aspiro | And hour by hour fresh lips are making | |
Vin glori per viv-elokvent'. | Thy wondrous doings heard on high. | |
5. Formortos mondaj imperioj, | 5. So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, | |
sed Via regno kreskos plu. | Like earth’s proud empires, pass away: | |
Al Vi sin cedos dinastioj, | Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, | |
Venkinto estos vi, Jesu'! | Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. | |
