Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #97 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 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.
2 Grant my request, O dearest Friend,
For truly, I Thy best intend;
Thou knowest that Thou ever art
A welcome Guest unto my heart.
3 The day is now far spent and gone,
'Tis toward evening, night comes on;
Then stay with me, Thou heavenly Light,
And do not leave me in this night.
4 Enlighten me that from the way
That leads to heaven, I may not stray,
That I may never be misled,
Though night of sin is round me spread.
5 And when I on my death-bed lie,
Help me, and let me gently die.
O stay! I will not let Thee go!
Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know. Topics: Easter Languages: English
