FRIEND, COME AND STAY(to the tune of “Abide With Me”)The twilight falls, fast s<strong>in</strong>ks the even<strong>in</strong>g sun.The night is dark, 0 Lord, to Thee I run!Weary and dreary pants my fa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g heart,0 never, gracious Friend, from me depart!The even<strong>in</strong>g haze reflects life’s chang<strong>in</strong>g day,Quick as a tw<strong>in</strong>kle ebbs the tide away.Feast<strong>in</strong>gs are few, good fortunes soon decay,0 come, Thou s<strong>in</strong>cere Friend, with me to stay.The night grows cold, so the friendship of man,The world’s a mirage to the caravan.Where is the door of help to this lost one?0 Thou my only Friend leave not alone!The night is long, so w<strong>in</strong>ds the worldly path,A speck of life floats far away from shore.The fleshly lusts have often gripped my heart,0 holy Friend stay with me ever more.The years flow on, how soon life comes to end,The pomp and power of earth are but a dream!They fade away sure as the law of change,Eternal Friend, arise, my soul redeem.36
