Katherine Jenkins - Abide With Me lyrics

Abide with me! Fast falls the Eventide; The darkness thickens. 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! Not a brief glance I beg, a pa**ing word; But as Thou dwellst with thy disciples, Lord Familiar, condescending, patient, free, -- Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me Come not in terrors, as the King of kings; But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea Come, Friend of sinners and thus bide with me Thou on my head in early youth did smile And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! I need thy presence every pa**ing hour What but thy grace can foil the Tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O, 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 then thy cross before my closing eyes; Speak 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!
