Text:Dear Jesus, abide with me

167. Dear Jesus, abide with me

1 Sometimes my way seems rough and long,
But the road to heaven is the road to home;
My trials here will soon be o'er,
I see Jesus on the other shore.

Refrain:
Dear Jesus, abide with me,
As I travel life's troubled sea;
And make my life what it ought to be;
Dear Jesus, abide with me.

2 When at the Jordan I'll have no fear,
I have His promise that He'll be near;
No more sorrow, no doubts or fear,
And He'll abide with me. [Refrain]
