1 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!
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?
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
