Here the bright sun has set

1. Behold, the bright sun has set, ; Will it rise for me tomorrow? ; My account is not yet complete, ; I am not yet ready for the journey. ; ; 2. Where will I be when I die, ; If I go down to the grave with sin. ; What will become of me if death, ; Finds me in mortal sins. ; ; 3. There is no time after death, ; I can lament my sin. ; I weep, but there will be no mercy, ; If the grave is full. ; ; 4. I cannot receive forgiveness there, ; No matter how many tears I shed. ; Death is my final end, ; Until my life is over. ; ; 5. I fear to die by chance, ; And to set out unprepared. ; I prepare, my dear God, ; Until my life is over ; ; 6. I reflect on my past life, ; I examine my sinful soul. ; Light a torch, my sweet God, ; That I may see everything in my heart.
