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 pa** away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in d**h, O Lord, abide with me
