this is an norwegian evening psalm written by elias blix in 1891. he also wanted this to be played at his own funeral. dagsens auga sloknar ut, // the last moments of day fade away, kveldsol ned i vester glader. // the evening sun down in the west glides. skuggen stig frå dal til nut, // shadows rising from valley to mountaintops, mørkret sigrar alle stader. // the dark conquers all corners. herre, hjartans sol og skatt // lord, the sun and treasure of hearts herre, ver mitt ljos i natt! lord, be my light tonight! lys du over meg din fred // shine over me your peace herre, ver mi sol og stjerna! // herre, the sun and treasure of hearts! livs-sol, som går aldri ned, // guiding light, that will never fade, meg mot mørkers hugskot verna! // protecting me from the grasp of darkness! stjerna, over huset statt! // this star above us shines! herre, ver mitt ljos i natt! // being, be my light tonight! når mi livs-sol sig i hav, // when my guiding light sinks at sea, og eg under mold skal sova, // and I back into the earth shall go, lys meg då igjennom grav! // guide me thru my dark tomb! så eg skal i ljos deg lova. // as I promise you my light. du som mørkers makter batt, // you, who defeat the forces of obscurity, herre, lys i daudens natt! //being, the light in deaths darkest night!

dagsens auga sloknar ut, // the last moments of day fade away,
kveldsol ned i vester glader. // the evening sun down in the west glides.
skuggen stig frå dal til nut, // shadows rising from valley to mountaintops,
mørkret sigrar alle stader. // the dark conquers all corners.
herre, hjartans sol og skatt // lord, the sun and treasure of hearts
herre, ver mitt ljos i natt! lord, be my light tonight!
lys du over meg din fred // shine over me your peace
herre, ver mi sol og stjerna! // herre, the sun and treasure of hearts!
livs-sol, som går aldri ned, // guiding light, that will never fade,
meg mot mørkers hugskot verna! // protecting me from the grasp of darkness!
stjerna, over huset statt! // this star above us shines!
herre, ver mitt ljos i natt! // being, be my light tonight!
når mi livs-sol sig i hav, // when my guiding light sinks at sea,
og eg under mold skal sova, // and I back into the earth shall go,
lys meg då igjennom grav! // guide me thru my dark tomb!
så eg skal i ljos deg lova. // as I promise you my light.
du som mørkers makter batt, // you, who defeat the forces of obscurity,
herre, lys i daudens natt! //being, the light in deaths darkest night!
