Abide With Me Tis Eventide


So yesterday was not a very good day for me. Lots of things were going through my mind. Many emotions as well. I had to get away from my apartment for a while. I ended up at the Manti Temple yet again. I stayed there for 2 hours. My heart was so full of different things that I needed to let all my emotions out. While I was sitting in my car looking at the temple, this song started playing in my head. I love the words so I'll put them down below. It has given me great comfort that the Lord loves us all. If we turn to him, even in our darkest times, he will help us. He will stay with us when we feel lonely. He will comfort us. I love my Savior very much.

Abide with me; 'tis eventide.
The day is past and gone;
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on.
Within my heart a welcome guest,
Within my home abide.

[Chorus]
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide.

Abide with me; 'tis eventide.
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burst;
As I communed with thee.
Thy earnest words have filled my soul;
And kept me near thy side.
[Chorus]

Abide with me; 'tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, 'tis eventide.

I grew to love this song on the mission and it's still one of my favorites. Another one I'd recommend is "My Kindess Shall Not Depart From Thee" on YouTube.
