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; 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 every passing hour;What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?Who like thyself, my guide and stay can be?Through clouds and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
