Now the shadows slowly lengthen, Soon the evening time will come; With Thy grace, O Savior, strengthen, By Thy help I would go home.

Tarry with me, O my Savior, Tarry with me through the night; I am lonely, Lord, without Thee, Tarry with me through the night.

Thou art with me, O my Savior, On Thy bosom calm I rest; Thine anointed, Lord, Thou savest, Now I know Thou givest rest.

Tarry with me, O my Savior, Tarry with me through the night; I am lonely, Lord, without Thee, Tarry with me through the night.

Upward as through trackless ether, With angelic wings to rise; Where the ransomed spirits gather In our home of paradise.

Tarry with me, O my Savior, Lift the veil of mortal night; Let the fields of verdant glory Burst upon my eager sight.

Tarry with me, O my Savior, Tarry with me through the night; I am lonely, Lord, without Thee, Tarry with me through the night.
