Awit Sa Dapit Hapon / When Twilight Comes
1. When twilight comes and the sun sets,
mother hen prepares for night's rest.
As her brood shelters under her wings
she gives the love of God to her nest.
Oh! what joy to feel her warm heart beat
and be near her all night long;
so the young can find repose,
then renew tomorrow's song.
2. One day the Rabbi Lord Jesus
called the Twelve to share His last meal.
As the hen tends her young, so for them
He spent Himself to seek and to heal.
Oh! what joy to be with Christ Jesus,
hear His voice, Oh! sheer delight,
and receive His servant care:
all before the coming night.
3. So gather round once again, friends,
touched by fading glow of sun's gold,
and recount all our frail human hopes:
the dreams of young and stories of old.
Oh! what joy to pray close together,
kneeling as one family,
by a mother's love embraced
in the blessed Trinity.
1. Ngayong nagdadapit hapon
at lumulubog ang araw
humahapon ang inahin
at ang kanyang manga inakay
tinitipon upang magsalo
sa alab ng pagmamahal
sa paglukob ng pakpak
ng mapagpalang kamay.
2. Noon din ay dapit hapon
at nagwawakas ang araw
naghapunan ang guro at
pati kan yang manga ilagad
nagtipon sila at nagsalo
sa tinapay at sa alak
sa piging ng buhay n'yang
inialay sa lahat.
3. Ngayong nagdadapit hapon
at lumulubog ang araw
ang manga magulang at ang
manga anak ay naghahapunan
nagtitipon at nagsasalo
sa ligaya't pagdiriwang
sa Ama't Anak na Diyos,
Diyos Espiritung Banal.
