by Franz Alfred Muth (1839 - 1890)

Bleibe, Abend will es werden
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Bleibe, Abend will es werden,
Und der Tag hat sich geneigt;
Bleibe, Herr, bei uns auf Erden,
Bis die letzte Klage schweigt.

  Wer soll uns uns're Thränen stillen,
Wenn es Deine Hand nicht thut;
Wer des Herzens Zug erfüllen,
Wenn nicht Deine Liebesgluth?

  Ach, so falsch ist ja die Erde,
Ach, so schwankend ist das Herz:
Von der Erde voll Beschwerde,
Führe du uns himmelwärts!

  Bleibe, Abend will es werden,
Und der Tag neigt sich zur Ruh;
Bleibe, Herr, uns hier auf Erden,
Uns im Himmel bleibe du!

Confirmed with Franz Alfred Muth, Waldblumen, Dritte, durchaus ausgewählte und reich vermehrte Auflage, Paderborn: Druck und Verlag von Ferdinand Schöningh, 1885, pages 200-201.
