1 Пребудь со мной! уж свет сменился мглой.
Густеет тьма. Господь, пребудь со мной!
Когда лишусь опоры я земной,
Оплот бессильных, Ты пребудь со мной!

2 Так жизни день короткий утечет,
Померкнет все земное и пройдет.
Все песни счастья—только звук пустой.
Друг неизменный, о, пребудь со мной.

3 Не царским обликом ко мне приди,
Но с состраданьем нежным и любви.
Ты исцеление неси с Собой,
Как солнца луч, таким пребудь со мной!

4 В Тебе нуждаюсь каждый час, мой Бог,
Чтоб искусителя Ты превозмог.
И в светлый час и облачной порой,
Руководя, храня, пребудь со мной!

5 Не страшен враг, коль Ты, Господь вблизи,
Скорбь не теснит, не знаю я тоски.
Где смерти жало? Ад, где ужас твой?
Бессильно все—ишь Ты пребудь со мной!

6 В предсмертный час на крест Свой укажи,
Звездою утренней средь тьмы гори,
Светлеет небо новою зарей,
И в жизни, в смерти Сам пребудь со мной.

During his University course he distinguished himself by gaining the English prize poem on three occasions. At one time he had intended studying Medicine; but this he abandoned for Theology, and took Holy Orders in 1815, his first curacy being in the neighbourhood of Wexford. In 1817, he removed to Marazion, in Cornwall. There, in 1818, he underwent a great spiritual change, which shaped and influenced the whole of his after life, the immediate cause being the illness and death of a brother cler… Go to person page >

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >

EVENTIDE (Monk)

According to some sources, William H. Monk (PHH 332) wrote EVENTIDE for Lyte's text in ten minutes. As the story goes, Monk was attending a hymnal committee meeting for the 1861 edition of Hymns Ancient and Modern of which he was music editor. Realizing that this text had no tune, Monk sat down at t…
