Calvary's Praises ‎#159

159. Tarry With Me

1 Tarry with me, O my Savior,
For the day is passing by;
See, the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.

Refrain:
Tarry with me, blessed Jesus,
Leave me not till morning light;
For I’m lonely here without Thee,
Tarry with me thro’ the night.

2 Many friends were gathered round me
In the bright days of the past;
But the grave has closed above them,
And I linger here at last. [Refrain]

3 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows;
Paler now the glowing west;
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night of rest? [Refrain]

4 Tarry with me, O my Savior;
Lay my head upon Thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me,
Morning of eternal rest. [Refrain]
