Text: | Abide With Me |
Author: | C. H. G. |
Tune: | [Dear Lord, I need Thy saving care about me] |
Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 Dear Lord, I need Thy saving care about me;
Into Thine arms of refuge would I flee;
I could not live—I dare not die without Thee,
In mercy then abide, abide with me.
Chorus:
Abide with me,—I need Thee ev’ry hour;
Abide with me, I fear the tempter’s pow’r;
Abide with me, in sunshine and in show’r;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
2 When foes without, and foes within assail me,
And I am tossed upon a troubled sea,
When, in my weakness, hope and courage fail me,
In mercy then abide, abide with me. [Chorus]
3 When o’er my way the sun is brightly shining,
My counselor, my guide and keeper be;
And in the hour of sorrow and repining,
In mercy then abide, abide with me. [Chorus]
4 When I am near the dark and unknown river,
Lord, who in earth or heav’n can save but Thee?
‘Tis Thou alone hath power to deliver,
In mercy then abide, abide with me. [Chorus]
