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



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

Oh abide with me



Oh thou thy cross

Before my closing eyes

Shine through the gloom

And point me to the skies

Heav'ns morning breaks

And earth's reign shadows flee

In life, in death, oh Lord

Abide with me



In life, in death, oh Lord

Abide with me...
