Abide with Me

Abide with Me is a Christian hymn English . The text was written in 1847 by Henry Francis Lyte, when he lay on his deathbed with tuberculosis . There is also a Dutch translation,[1]  namely 392, song from the song book for the churches. In different Protestant denominations reads the first line either keep mine near, or stay with me, Lord. The music was composed in 1861 by William Monk.

[hide] *1 supper at Emmaus  ==Supper At Emmaus[ Edit] == The text of the anthem has its origins in the story of the supper at Emmaus that described in the Gospel according to Lucas (24, 13-35). Two disciples, one of which (Cleophas) is mentioned by name, meet on the way to Emmaus, without knowing it, the resurrected Christ who walk with them and meanwhile all kinds of Scripture interpretation gives. In Emmaüs they ask their travel companion, which they have not yet recognized until then, to stay with them because it is already evening it is already almost dark. This passage calls on foreigners to provide hospitality. Only later did the call stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is coming to an end the interpretation received from a call to the Lord not to abandon his believers. By that interpretation testifies Abide with me. ==Text[ Edit] == Abide with me, on melody of Eventide by William Henry Monk(1861)The text of the hymn reads:

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.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;'Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;'Change and decay in all around I see;'O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;'But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,'Familiar, condescending, patient, free.'Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,'But child and good, with healing in Thy wings,'Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea —'Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.
