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

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?
I triumph still, if Thou 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!
