舊版： Abide with me Tune: Eventide
- 二人強之曰、與我偕居、蓋時將暮、日已昃矣
- ──路加廿四章廿九節
本詩第一二七八節尤多用，也有收第六節者。四節也有少量詩集收錄其中。至於三五兩節，除原作外，甚少用於頌唱，但仍繙之以令翻譯較完全。
此詩或與Henry Vaughan： A Meditation at the setting of the Sun, or the Souls Elevation to the true light 有聯繫。
原詞：禮特
原曲：蒙卡 調曰Eventide
註：禮特本有一曲，因使用甚少故以較常用之調為譯詞。
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
暮日漸沉盼相牽將我近，
夜晚暗幽至祢臨近導引。
寂寞獨行中安慰卻盡離，
無助處祢護援作伴莫離。
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
荏苒日年眾生息將至限，
樂趣瞬息宛世情名利散。
萬象無常一刻卻見盡期，
唯未變永在神永伴莫離。
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
盼祢聖容祢聲音居我傍，
若祢往昔親與徒屬共往。
謙卑柔和君竟與眾賤微，
求莫卻盼共行永伴莫離。
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.
縱作大權君施恩深更重，
大愛憫恤光線療治萬眾。
與眾罪人泣堪慰勉倦疲，
求共這眾罪人作伴莫離。
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
少壯日時縱得主歡笑樣，
罪裡抗深愛背離邪道向。
祢永未離開雖我徑復歧，
求讓我靠在懷永伴莫離。
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
一刻勿離主一生需眷佑，
若缺祢恩焉勝仇敵禍誘？
哪有別人一生引領未離？
晴護我雨亦隨永伴莫離。
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
未懼敵臨祢恩手必永近，
未畏痛楚不記流淚禍困。
罪墓何權陰府哪有勝利？
降敵似舊若神永伴莫離。
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
盼閉目時祢寶架光照漫，
導我往天驅暗雲霧漸散。
天光若晨曦光照遍滿地，
求伴生死不變永伴莫離。
