日暮れて四方は暗く
(親しく、おだやかに、辛抱強く、自由に、) Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.(滞在じゃなく、われととどまれ) Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,(おそれを知らず、王の王として) But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;(親しくやさしく、翼の中の癒しと) Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.(すべての災難に涙を、あらゆる懇願に心を、) Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.(こよ、罪びとの友、そしてわれと留まれ) Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,(私の若いころあなたは微笑んでいた) And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,(そして私は生意気に、意固地になった) Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.(あなたは私を見棄てなかった、しばしば私はあなたに背いたのに) On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.(もっと近くへ、おお主よ、われととどまれ) I need Thy presence every passing hour.(毎時間あなたの存在が必要) What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
