Lyrics
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, oh, abide with me
I need thy presence ev’ry passing hour
What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim, earth’s glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O thou who changest not abide with me
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
