Hymns (1948), no. 1
Abide with me! Fast Falls the Eventide

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!
