Abide with Me Lyrics

m:-:m:r/d:-:s:-/l:s:s:f/m:-:-:-//

1. Abide with me fast falls the eventide,

The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide!

When other helpers fail, and comports flee,

Help of the helpless, O abide me.

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day!

Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass way,

Change and decay in all around I see;

O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

3. I need Thy presence every passing hour;

What but Thy grace can fool the tempter’s power?

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?

Through cold and sunshine, O abide with me.

4. I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.

Where is death’s string?

Where grave thy victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

5. 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!
