Stay with me, see, the end of day is close
Stay, oh Lord, soon the night is here
When everything else betrays and fails
You the only comforter, stay
Not only a glance, a word I pray for
No, as to Emmaus you used to come
And sad brothers heavy burden wore
Come, not only to visit, stay with me.
As tender I was laid in the arms of your love
And was blessed in your precious name
You me never left, although onf alse paths
I often failed you, oh, stay with me
Your cross shall shine for my glance
When last I go asleep, oh Lord Jesus Christ
Then the night turns away, morning cracks clear
In life, in death stay, Lord, with me
