Abide with Me

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
