ABIDE WITH ME

[1]
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.

[2]
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me

[3]
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me

[4]
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death’s sting?
Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.

[5]
Reveal Thyself before my closing eyes
Shine thro’ the gloom and point me to the skies
Heav’n’s morning breaks and
Earth’s vain shadows flee
In life, in death O Lord, abide with me.
