Abide With Me

Author: H. F. Lyte Appears in 1,671 hymnals First Line: Abide with me! Fast falls the even tide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the even tide, 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 ev'ry passing hour, What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Thro' cloud and sunshine, O Abide with me! 4 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine thro' the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee? In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Used With Tune: [Abide with me! Fast falls the even tide]
