"Abide with Me; 'Tis Eventide"
Music: Harrison Millard, 1884
Lyrics: Martin Lowrie Hoffard, 1884
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.
Abide with me; 'tis eventide. Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burn, as I communed with Thee.
The 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.
Refrain:
O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide!
