Lyrics
May our supplications ascend to You at sunset,
Our cries come before You at the break of day,
And our music move You at eventide.
May our voices ascend to You at sunset,
Our virtues be remembered at the break of day,
And our redemption be realized at eventide.
May Your understanding of our torment ascend to You at sunset,
Our pardon come from You at the break of day,
And our grieving cease at eventide.
May Your awareness of our retreat from sin ascend to You at sunset,
For Your sake, let our efforts succeed at the break of day,
And our atonement be complete at eventide.
May our need for liberation ascend to You at sunset,
Our purification come at the break of day,
And Your grace be ours at eventide.
May the grandeur of our shared history ascend to You at sunset,
Our communal pleading be accepted at the break of day,
And our glory upheld at eventide.
May the sound of our pounding at Your gate ascend to You at sunset,
Our rejoicing begin at the break of day,
And our requests be granted at eventide.
May our sighs ascend to You at sunset,
Come before You at the break of day,
And good tidings be revealed to us at eventide.
