Wartburg Hymnal ‎#49

49. And whither wilt Thou, Pilgrim dear?

1 And whither wilt Thou, Pilgrim dear?
The day's far spent, and night is near:
Come hither, Lord; with me abide,
And bless me now at eventide.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

2 To my entreaty pray attend;
I do desire Thee, dearest Friend;
Thou knowest, too, that in my breast
Thou art a well-beloved Guest.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

3 The day is done; the shadows fall,
And darkness spreads its mighty pall:
Come Light of light, pervade my heart
And nevermore from me depart.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

4 Enlight me, Lord, to find the way
That leads to heav'n and endless day;\
Nor let the dismal light of sin
Deceive nor make me err therein.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

5 'Mid death's dread dangers succor me
That mine a peaceful death may be:
Abide with me as heretofore,
Nor leave me, Savior, evermore.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
