For the day is passing by;
See! the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
Tarry with me! tarry with me!
Pass me not unheeded by.
"Dimmed for me is earthly beauty,
Yet the spirit's eye would fain
Rest upon Thy lovely features—
Shall I seek, dear Lord, in vain?
Tarry with me, oh, my Saviour!
