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, O, abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away, Change and decay in all around, I see, O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse, meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left thee; On to the close, O Lord, 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 clouds and sunshine, O, abide with me!
Hold up 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 and death, O Lord, abide with me!
