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 |
| (Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word |
| But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord |
| Familiar, condescending, patient, free |
| Come not to sojourn, but abide with me |
| Come not in terrors, as the King of kings |
| But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; |
| Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea |
| Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me |
| Thou on my head in early youth didst smile |
| And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile |
| Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee |
| On to the close, O Lord, 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 stay can be? |
| Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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 |
| Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; |
| In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.) |
