- 1Abide 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;O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!
- 2Abide 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 soulAnd kept me near Thy side;O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!
- 3Abide 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;O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!O Savior, stay this night with me;Behold, 'tis eventide!
