Now that the sun hath veil'd his light
Language: English
Available translation(s): FIN FRE GER ITA SPA
Now that the sun hath veil'd his light
And bid the world goodnight;
To the soft bed my body I dispose,
But where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
And can there be any so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul!
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days.
Hallelujah!

Ora che il sole ha velato la sua luce
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
Ora che il sole ha velato la sua luce
e augurato la buona notte al mondo,
sul soffice letto dispongo il mio corpo,
ma dove riposerà la mia anima?
Caro, caro Dio, solo tra le tue braccia
ci può essere una così dolce protezione!
Dunque, riposa anima mia!
E cantando, loda la misericordia
che prolunga i tuoi giorni.
Hallelujah!
