Stay waith me, see, the end of day is close
  Stay, oh Lord, soon the night is here
  When everything else betrays and fails
  You the only comforter, stay
  
  Not only a glance, a word I pray for
  No, as to Emmaus you used to come
  And sad brothers heavy burden wore
  Come, not only to visit, stay with me.
  
  As tender I was laid in the arms of your love
  And was blessed in your precious name
  You me never left, although on false paths
  I often failed you, oh, stay with me
  
  Your cross shall shine for my glance
  When last I go asleep, oh Lord Jesus Christ
  Then the night turns away, morning cracks clear
  In life, in death stay, Lord, with me
