Fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens--Lord, with me abide!

Who, like Thyself, my guide and strength can be? Thro' cloud and sunshine, oh, 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 eventide]
