Abide with me fast falls the eventide

The darkness deepens Lord with  me abide

When other helpers fail and comfort 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 temper’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
