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.
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 Thee,
Nor 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!
And now, behold ‘tis eventide and saving grace is o’er.
The sunlight taken from the earth.
In wrath God shut the door.
But still, in mercy to His own,
His sheep He feeds and hides.
Until we look into His face, and with our Lord abide,
Until we dwell in Paradise, at our blessed Savior’s side.
Ending:
O Savior, stay this night with me; behold, ‘tis eventide.
