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 power? Who like Thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me Hold Thou Thy Word before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
