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 fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is d**h's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in d**h, O Lord, abide with me
Abide, O Lord, abide with me...
