At Eventide

Author: Elsie Duncan Yale Hymnal: Jubilate #221 (1917) First Line: Sunlight is fading in quiet skies afar Refrain First Line: Abide with me! Lyrics: 1 Sunlight is fading in quiet skies afar, Day is departing, the evening gates unbar; Saviour, be near us, our comfort and our stay, For in Thy keeping darkness is as day. 2 Grant that Thy peace in each heart may hold its sway, Grant us Thy hope with its holy, heav’nly ray; O may Thy love as a blessed beacon shine, Gleam through the shadows with a light divine. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens—Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
