Abide With Me
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 it’s close ebbs out life’s little day;Earth’s joys grow dim; it’s glories pass away;Change and decay in all around I see;O thou, who changest not, abide with me!
3. I need thy presence ev’ry passing hour;What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?Who like thyself, my guide and stay can be?Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
