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 Your presence every passing hour
What but Your grace can foil the tempter's power
Who like Yourself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord abide with me
I fear no foe with You at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting, where grave your victory
I triumph still if You abide with me
Hold now Your 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
In life, in death, oh Lord abide with me
