Author: Mrs. Caroline Sprague Smith Hymnal: Gloria Deo #608 (1901) Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour,
For the day is passing by;
See! the shades of ev’ning 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?
2 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 Saviour;
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning, then awake me,—
Morning of eternal rest. Topics: Christ Abiding with Believers; Vesper Languages: English Tune Title: SMITH
