Songtexte Abide With Me - Bruce Blyth feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Richard Farnes & Stephen Cleobury

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
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 tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, 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: heav'n's morning breaks, and
Earth's vain shadows flee; in life
In death, our Lord, abide with me
