Tarry with me, O my Savior
For the day is passing by
See! the shades of evening gather
And the night is drawing nigh
Tarry with me, blessed Savior
Leave me not till morning light
For I'm lonely here without Thee
Tarry with me thro' the night
Deeper, deeper grow the shadows
Paler now the glowing west
Swift the night of death advances
Shall it be the night of rest?
Tarry with me, O my Savior
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me
Morning of eternal rest
Alternate verses:
Lonely seems the vale of shadow
Sinks my heart with troubled fear
Give me faith for clearer vision
Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer
| |
Let me hear Thy voice behind me
Calming all these wild alarms
Let me, underneath my weakness
Feel the everlasting arms
Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying
Lord, I cast myself on Thee
Tarry with me through the darkness
While I sleep, still watch by me
