| Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
|
| The day is past and gone;
|
| The shadows of the evening fall;
|
| The night is coming on!
|
| Within my heart a welcome Guest,
|
| Within my home abide.
|
| O Savior, stay this night with me;
|
| Behold, 'tis eventide!
|
| O Savior, stay this night with me;
|
| Behold, 'tis eventide!
|
| Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
|
| Thy walk today with me Has made my heart within me burn,
|
| As I communed with Thee.
|
| Thy earnest words have filled my soul
|
| And kept me near Thy side.
|
| Abide with me, 'tis eventide!
|
| And lone will be the night,
|
| If I cannot commune with Thee,
|
| Nor find in Thee my light.
|
| The darkness of the world, I fear,
|
| Would in my home abide. |
