1
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
2
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
3
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 O abide with me
4
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 O Lord abide with me
1
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
2
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
3
Not a brief glance I beg a passing word
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples Lord
Familiar condescending patient free
Come not to sojourn but abide with me
4
Come not in terrors as the King of kings
But kind and good with healing in Thy wings
Tears for all woes a heart for every plea
Come friend of sinners and abide with me
5
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
Thou hast not left me oft as I left Thee
On to the close O Lord abide with me
6
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 O abide with me
7
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
8
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 O Lord abide with me
