The Radiant Sun Declining
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Gloria Deo #601 (1901) Meter: Irregular First Line: The radiant sun, declining Lyrics: 1 The radiant sun, declining,
Will soon have pass’d away,
And silver stars outshining
Make but as transient stay;
O Light! all light excelling,
When sun or stars decline,
Shine forth, our gloom dispelling
With light and joy divine.
2 Like sunbeams, quickly flying
Before the dusky night,
Or stars’ fair lustre, dying
With morning’s clearer light,
So, swift beyond our measure,
Life’s little day speeds on;
A moment’s fleeting pleasure
And light and life are gone.
3 Thou, who in human fashion
Didst render up Thy breath,
And by Thy bitter Passion
Destroy the sting of death;
When life’s brief day is over—
Its toil, its care and sin—
Thine arms of mercy,
And take the weary in.
4 O Saviour, be Thou near us
Till all our toil is o’er,
Till heav’nly light shall cheer us,
And night return no more.
So, to the life immortal,
With joy we’ll haste away
And pass thro’ death’s dark portal
To never-ending day. Topics: Vesper Languages: English Tune Title: INDICA

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Radiant Sun Declining" in Gloria Deo In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Joseph Barnby
1838 - 1896 Composer of "[The radiant sun declining]" in Hymn Tunes Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
