Abide with Me Lyrics

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.

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, Lord, abide with me

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, O Lord, abide with me.
