And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow's iron rod, Then we find that selfsame aching Deep within the heart of God. 3 God is Love; and though with blindness Sin afflicts all human life, God's eternal loving kindness Guides us through our earthly strife. Sin and death and hell shall never O'er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever O'er the universe must reign.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 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, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 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 death, O Lord, abide with me. Lift Up Your Hearts, 2013
