42. Blessed Saviour, Tarry With Us

1 Blessed Saviour, tarry with us,
Leave us not, we pray;
Let Thy hallowed presence cheer us,
All our pilgrim way.

Chorus:
Tarry with us, tarry with us,
Leave us not, we pray;
Let Thy presence cheer and bless us,
All our pilgrim way.

2 Make our hearts to burn within us
As Thy truth we trace;
Showing how by death Thou livest,
Saving us by grace.

Chorus:
Tarry with us, tarry with us,
Leave us not, we pray;
Let Thy presence cheer and bless us,
All our pilgrim way.

3 Since Thou now hast all things ready,
Having spread the feast,
By Thy loving kindness drawing,
Bring us all to taste.

Chorus:
Tarry with us, tarry with us,
Leave us not, we pray;
Let Thy presence cheer and bless us,
All our pilgrim way.

4 Granting still Thy gracious blessings,
Open Thou our eyes;
Let Thy light dispel our darkness,
Make us truly wise.

Chorus:
Tarry with us, tarry with us,
Leave us not, we pray;
Let Thy presence cheer and bless us,
All our pilgrim way.

5 Tarry with us all life's journey,
Over Jordan guide;
Then with Thee we'll tarry ever
On the other side.

Chorus:
Tarry with us, tarry with us,
Over Jordan guide,
Let Thy presence bless us ever
On the other wise.
