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 Thy presence every 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, oh abide with me
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
