"Abide with me; fast falls the ___" (Henry Francis Lyte) (8)

I believe the answer is:

eventide

(Other definitions for eventide that I've seen before include "some time later?" , "sunset" , "latter part of the day" , "onset of dusk" , "End of the day to the poet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
