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, O abide with me

(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

(Abide with me, 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

(Abide with me)

Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee

In life, in death, abide with me
