Religious Music - Abide With Me lyrics

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 prescence every passing hour

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power

Who like Thy Self my guide and stay can be

Through cloud and sunshine, O 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 tuiumph 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.
