My God, for Jesus' sake I pray That I in peace may pass away. 4 O Father, let my sins be covered With Jesus' blood and righteousness; By faith this spotless garment wearing, I rest shall find from all distress. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray That I in peace may pass away. 5 From Jesus naught my soul can sever, Nor life nor death shall do me harm; Him as my Lord and God confessing, I easily my foes disarm. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray That I in peace may pass away. 6 With Him I live in sweet contentment, And death instills no thought of fear; For, while to Thee my ways commending, I have this faith to lend me cheer: Thy grace in Christ shall be my stay, And I in peace shall 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? Through cloud and sunshine, 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 then thy cross before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee. In life and death, O God, abide with me.
