Kanji:

はるけき山の端　陽はおちて
時ながれし　なごりつげぬ
鳴れかし鐘の音に
しばしは憩わん

くれゆくひととせ
たえまなき恵みよ
讃えん　いざこぞりて

はてなきみそらに　星うかび
夜をみちびく　しるべをなす
迷いしわが道に
みかみは示さん

くれゆくひととせ
とこしえの幸せ
祈らん　いざこぞりて

しずけきゆうべに　夢やすく
主はあまねく　まもりたまう
あまなるみ使いは　調べを奏でん

くれゆくひととせ
うるわしきあしたよ
迎えん　いざこぞりて

English:

The Sun descends over the summit of the faraway mountain,

while the time leaves no remnants of its passage.

Now, let us have a short rest

at the sound of the ringing bells.

Now that this year is waning,

let us praise together,

oh, for an endless blessing.

The Stars rise upon the endless beautiful sky,

becoming friends that guide us on the night.

Even if we get lost on the roads,

God will guide us.

Now that this year is waning,

let us pray together

for an everlasting happiness.

Let us have a peaceful dream in this quiet evening,

may the Lord offer everything His protection,

as the heavenly angels play their melody.

Now that this year is waning,

let us receive together,

oh, a beautiful tomorrow.
