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

O abide with me

Not a brief glance I beg

A passing word

But as Thou dwell'st

With Thy disciples, Lord

Familiar, condescending

Patient, free

Come not to sojourn

But abide with me

Come not in terror

As the King of kings

Bur kind and good

Wich healing in Thy wings

Tears for all woes

A heart for every plea

Come, Friend of sinners

Thus 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 tite, in death

O Lord, abide with me
