Abide with meFast falls the eventideThe darkness deepensLord, with me abideWhen other helpers failAnd comfort fleeHelp of the helplessO abide with meI need thy presenceEvery passing hourWhat but thy graceCan foil the tempter's powerWho like thyselfMy guide and stay can beThrough cloud and sunshineO abide with meAmenI fear no foeWith thee at hand to blessAils have no weightAnd tears no bitternessWhere is death's sting?Where, grave, thy victory?I triumph stillIf thou abide with meHold thou thy crossBefore my closing eyesShine through the gloomAnd shine through the lightAnd point me to the skiesHem's morning breaksAnd earth's vain shadows fleeIn life, in deathO Lord, abide with meO Lord, abide with me
