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
O abide with me

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

I need Thy presence 
Every passing hour
What but Thy grace can
Foil the tempter's power?

Who like Thyself 
My guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine 
O 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 triumph still if Thou 
Abide with me

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

In life, in death, O Lord 
Abide with me
