1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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; O Savior, stay this night with me; O Savior, stay this night.
4. Abide with me, ‘tis eventide. O stay by my ‘til day; Thy perfect love to calm my fears; Thy word to light the way. I’ll walk now with my hand in thine; My strength by grace supplied. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, ‘tis eventide. O Savior, stay this night with me, My Savior, Thou who died for me; O may my soul abide in thee; Behold, ‘tis eventide. O Savior, stay with me this night.
