'''''Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden''''' (''Stay with us, for evening falls''), [[BWV]] 6, is a [[Bach cantata|cantata]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]].

It was written in [[Leipzig]] for [[Easter Monday]], and was first performed on 2 April 1725. It is based on [[chorale]]s by [[Nikolaus Selnecker]] and [[Martin Luther]]. The text of the first movement comes from [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 24:29.

The piece is written for two [[oboe]]s, [[oboe da caccia]], strings ([[violin]]s, [[viola]]s and [[basso continuo]]), vocal soloists and [[choir]]. It is in six movements:

#Chorus: "Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden" - a [[polyphony|freely polyphonic]] movement in [[ternary form]] for the entire ensemble. The middle section is [[fugue|fugal]] in texture ([[C minor]]).
#[[Aria]]: "Hochgelobter Gottessohn" ("Highly-praised Son of God") - for alto, oboe da caccia and continuo ([[E-flat major]]).
#Chorale: "Ach bleib bei uns, Herr Jesu Christ" ("Ah, stay with us, Lord Jesus Christ") - a setting of Hermann's chorale for solo soprano, [[piccolo cello]] and continuo ([[B-flat major]]). Bach later arranged this movement for solo organ as one of the [[Schübler Chorales]], BWV 649.
#Recitative: "Es hat die Dunkelheit an vielen Orten" ("The darkness has [taken over] in many places") - for bass and continuo ([[G minor]]).
#Aria: "Jesu, laß uns auf dich sehen" ("Jesus, let us look upon you") - for tenor, strings and continuo ([[G minor]]).
