46. Abide With Me, 'Tis Eventide

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; Refrain 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; 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;
