About the Song:

Thanks to my dear sister Barb for her help in adapting the French translation of this special prayer.

This recording originally appeared on Disc 3 of Carolyn Koebel's first Honoring the Passage collection in 2014.

Stay with me Lord, the day wanes
The night approaches and I (have) need (of) You
I implore of You Your Divine Presence
Stay with me Lord, stay with me
