Ah, it is all over (O Sovereign, Judge, o Father)
Ah, it is all over.
My fine dream of glory
and my dreams of happiness
are gone for ever!
You took my love,
now you take away my victory
Lord, I yield to You!

O Sovereign, o Judge, o Father,
always hidden yet always present,
I worshipped You in time of success,
and bless You in these dark days.
I go where Your law commands,
free of all human regret.
O Sovereign, o Judge, o Father,
Yours alone is the image
I carry in my soul,
which I commit into Your hands.

O firmament, azure, light,
spirit from on high bending over me,
it is as a soldier I despair,
but the Christian keeps his faith.
You can come, you can appear,
dawn of the eternal day!
O Sovereign, o Judge, o Father,
the servant of a just master
answers Your call without fear.
O Sovereign, o Judge, o Father
