Author: Charles Venn Pilcher; Páll Jónsson Hymnal: Passion-Hymns of Iceland, The #28 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Hymnal Title: Passion-Hymns of Iceland, The First Line: On the wings of light declining Lyrics:
On the wings of light declining
Sinks the westering sun to sleep:
Lord, alike in dark or shining,
Thy pure eyes their vigil keep.
Let Thy light, which faileth never,
Round me shine, though day depart;
And, though night prevaileth, ever
Flood the chambers of my heart.
