Where Wilt Thou Go

Verse 1

Where wilt Thou go since night draws near, O Jesus Christ, Thou Pilgrim dear? Lord, make me happy, be my Guest, And in my heart, O deign to rest.

Verse 2

Grant my request, O dearest Friend, For truly I the best intend; Thou knowest that Thou ever art A welcome Guest unto my heart.

Verse 3

The day is now far spent and gone, The shades of night come quickly on; Abide with me, Thou heav'nly Light, And do not leave me in this night.

Verse 4

Enlighten me that from the way That leads to heav'n I may not stray, That I may never be misled, Though night of sin is round me spread.

Verse 5

And when I on my death-bed lie, Help me that I in peace may die. Abide! I will not let Thee go. Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know.
