Abide with me fast fall 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 joy 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 stay can be

Through clouds and sunshine  O abide with me

 

I Fear no Foe, with Thee at

Hand to Bless

I will have no weight

and Tears no bitterness

Where is death’s sting,

were 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

Heavens morning breaks

and earth’s vain shadows tie

In Life and death O Lord abide with me
