Stay with Us, Lord
Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!

Stay with us, Lord: behold, evening is coming,
and we still haven’t recognised your face
in each of our brothers and sisters
Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!

Stay with us, Lord: behold, evening is coming,
and we still haven’t shared your bread
in thanksgiving with all our brothers and sisters.
Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!

Stay with us, Lord: behold, evening is coming,
and we still haven’t recognised your Word
in the words of all our brothers and sisters,
Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!

Stay with us, Lord, behold, evening is coming,
and our hearts are still too slow to believe
that you had to die in order to rise again.
Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!

Stay with us, Lord, for our night itself becomes day
when you are there! Stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ!
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
