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 soulAnd kept me near thy side.
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, And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with theeNor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear, Would in my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, ’tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, ’tis eventide.
