Lyrics
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
Abide, Abide, Abide with me,
Lord I need thee every hour,
Please come abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and tempests, Lord, abide with me
Abide, Abide, Abide with me,
Lord I need thee every hour,
Please come abide with me
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
ill’s have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me
Abide, Abide, Abide with me,
Lord I need thee every hour,
Please come abide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the night and point me to the skies
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s dark shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
