Tarry With Me HymnTarry with me, O my Savior, For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh.
Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest?
Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
Let me hear Thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms.
Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on Thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me.
Tarry with me, O my Savior, Lay my head upon Thy breast Till the morning; then awake me— Morning of eternal rest. |
