Sheet music

  1. 1Tarry 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 through the night.
  2. 2Many friends were gathered round meIn the bright days of the past;But the grave has closed above them,And I linger here the last.Tarry with me, blessed Savior;Leave me not till morning light:For I’m lonely here without Thee:Tarry with me through the night.
  3. 3Deeper, 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, blessed Savior;Leave me not till morning light:For I’m lonely here without Thee:Tarry with me through the night.
