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

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 (oooooh)
Oh, Thou who changest not, abide with me (abide, abide with me)
Abide with me (abide with me)

I need Thy presence every passing hour (what buy thy grace)
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power (who like thyeslf)
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be (through cloud and sun)
Through cloud and sunshine abide with me (abide with me)
Abide with me (abide with me, oooh)

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes (ooooh)
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks and Earth's vain shadows flee (ooooh)
In life, in death, oh Lord, abide with me

In life, in death, oh Lord, abide with me
