Verse 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.
Verse 2
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little days;
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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
