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 it's close ebbs out life's little day

Earth's joys grow dim it's glories pass away

Change and decay in all around I see

O Thou who changest not abide with me

I need Thy presence every passing hour;

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's powr

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be

Through cloud and sunshine Lord abide with me

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;

Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness;

Where is death's sting

Where grave thy victory

I triumph still if Thou abide with me
