Abide with Me

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, oh, abide with me

Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need Thee every hour
Oh come, abide with me

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 tempest, Lord, abide with me

Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need Thee every hour
Oh come, abide with me

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'll triumph still, if Thou abide with me
Oh I'll triumph still, if Thou abide with me

Oh abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need Thee every hour
Oh come, abide with me

Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need Thee every hour
Oh come, abide with me

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the night and point me to the skies
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's dark shadows flee
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
