NEUOFFENBARUNGTo sing to the Lord in the evening of the day
1. Sunk, sunk down is the glorious sun, down into the sea; under all the treacherous billows and eddies the shining mother of the day hid herself.
2. The careful bearer of so many children, she blesses, even if already hidden, still long after she sank down into eerie depths, the loosest children of the dark earth by her quite glorious rays of the twilight of the evening.
3. Still quite long lasts the blessing of the mother of the day, and peaceful little clouds in the golden illuminated evening give sometimes still so delightfully abundant gifts of the shining blessing of the glorious mother down into the dark valleys of the earth.
4. Only a few children of the earth notice and respect how this happens, how the holy Father full of love has created the things so beautifully and so well, that they, besides the benefit, shall also refresh and bless the people.
5. Who only wants to pay attention to the radiant blessing of the setting sun, the glorious glory of the evening, how would his heart be filled with the sweetest bliss of the heavens; with holy love for God his heart would be filled. But no-one wants to respect the holy order of the holy most loving Father and Savior of mankind.
6. That is why the sun of life has sunk, sunk down into the eerie depths of the seas, the treacherous waves and eddies and swirls of the dark times; because no-one wants to pay attention anymore because of mere worldly worries, what there the holy rays, the last the sunken sun of life still offer.
7. Therefore, hear it brothers and sisters! You who still notice the rays, the last rays of the evening in your heart, all of you remember the holy evening when the Father walked with the two brothers to Emmaus and finally blessed them there after He has broken the bread.
8. Oh remember, oh remember, brothers and sisters, of every evening, remember this so holy evening, and cry out with the two mourning pilgrims to Emmaus: oh abide, oh abide with us, Holy Father! For behold, it has already become evening in our hearts.
9. And then the Holy Father will bless you and say: "Oh little children, be calm and do not be afraid; for I will remain with you until the end of the world.” And when that will come, the last of the days of earthly life, then the Holy Father will awaken you to eternal life in Him.
10. Oh, so watch out, brothers and sisters, of the evening, yes, we all respect the most glorious image of the sun that has set, so that one day a new – an eternal morning of eternal life might arise for us in the lap of the Holy Father in heaven. Oh Holy Father, hallowed be Your name; Your holy will, your holy will be always done. Amen
