about

Tenebrae (Father, Stay with Me)

From the Latin word meaning “darkness” or “shadows,” this song was written to be sung at the closing of the Maundy Thursday “Service of Tenebrae” held at the United Church of Christ, Congregational in Norwell, Massachusetts. The setting of the song is the garden of Gethsemane as Jesus is praying, before he is betrayed.

lyrics

Father, Stay With Me

Father, stay with me.
Spirit, pray with me
through the longest hours of this night.
With my brothers gone
I am here alone.
Father, stay with me through this night.

I will drink this cup
for it is your will
so that those you love might be one.
You said all along
it would come to this
through the sacrifice of your son.

Through the darkest night
many souls still sleep
though the shroud of death closed their eyes.
But new life will rise
with the morning sun.
Abba, Father! Stay this night!
