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, oh 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

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 oh Lord abide with me
