Tarry with Me
Tarry with me, O my Savior,
For the day is passing by;
See, the shades of ev'ning gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
Chorus:
Tarry with me, blessed Savior;
Leave me not till morning light:
For I'm lonely here without Thee:
Tarry with me thro' the night.
Many friends were gathered round me
In the bright days of the past;
But the grave has closed above them,
And I linger here the last.
Chorus:
Tarry with me, blessed Savior;
Leave me not till morning light:
For I'm lonely here without Thee:
Tarry with me thro' the night.
Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west;
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night of rest?
Chorus:
Tarry with me, blessed Savior;
Leave me not till morning light:
For I'm lonely here without Thee:
Tarry with me thro' the night.
Tarry with me, O my Savior;
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me,
Morning of eternal rest.
Chorus:
Tarry with me, blessed Savior;
Leave me not till morning light:
For I'm lonely here without Thee:
Tarry with me thro' the night.
