Original text and translations

German text Bleib bei uns, Herr, denn es will Abend werden, laß dein Licht leuchten auch zu unsern Zeiten, dafür wir deinen Namen wolln loben ewig, Amen.

English translation Abide with us, Lord, for it is towards evening: Let Thy light shine upon our time as well, that we might wish to ever praise Thy Name. (after Luke 24:29)
