Abide

Abide with us, Lord, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.

Abide with us and with Your whole Church.

Abide with us at the end of the day, at the end of our life, at the end of the world.

Abide with us with Your grace and goodness, with Your holy Word and Sacrament, with Your strength and blessing.

Abide with us when the night of affliction and temptation comes upon us, the night of fear and despair, the night when death draws near.

Abide with us and with all the faithful, now and forever. Amen.

from Compline, LSB, p. 257
