Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 Lord abide with me
[Verse 2]
Swift to its close ebbs but life's little day
Earths joys grow dim its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
Oooh thou who changes not abide with me
[Verse 3]
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 cloud and sunshine Lord abide with me
[Verse 4]
I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where great thy victory?
I triumph still if thou abides with me
[Verse 5]
Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the groove and point me to the sky
Hence no regret hells judgement shadows flee
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
