Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #670 (1986) Lyrics: 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, 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 thy self my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sun shine, 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!

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 stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 4 Not a brief glance I long, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord,-- Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but t' abide with me.
