Behold, 'Tis Eventide

Verse 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.

Chorus

O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide! O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
