Stay with us, O Lord




The hours go on slowly by as evening falls so softly,
And off the mountains fade the reflections
Of a day so full of happiness without end,
Of a day that will just keep on going.
Because we know that a new life is before us,
A life of beauty which will never ever pass.

Chorus
Stay with us, O Lord
The day is almost gone
Stay with us, O Lord,
The evening's drawing near.

Stay with us, O Lord
The day is almost gone
If you're with us, Lord
The night will never come.

The ripples of your waves of love,
All spread out to sea,
And blown on by the wind.
They will soon break on the open shores,
Of each and every man's heart.
At the portals of that pure and true love,
Just like a bright flame.
Which scorches where it passes,
Your wondrous love will invade,
The whole wide world.
(Chorus)

Before our eyes humanity,
Struggles, suffers, and hopes.
Just like a piece of earth,
In the dry times begging water.
From a clear and cloudless blue sky,
But which gives forth such abundant life always.
With You will be a spring of purest water,
With You among us all the desert,
Will do on bloom.
(Chorus)
