Verse 1
Abide with me fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens O Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, abide with me
Verse 2
Thou on my head in early youth did smile
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
Thou has not left me, though I oft left thee
On to the close, Lord, abide with me
CHORUS
Abide with me, abide with me
If thou art with me here
Then here is all I need
O blessed savior, abide with me
Verse 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 cloud and sunshine, abide with me
(to chorus)
Verse 4
I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
O death where is thy sting? O grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if thou abide with me
(to chorus)
Verse 5
Hold Thou Thy cross 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 Lord, abide with me
