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 ev’ry 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. Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
    shine through 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.
