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 

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; 

Earth's joys grown dim, its glories pass away; 

Change and decay in all around I see; 

O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 

I need Thy presence every 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, Lord, abide with me. 

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. 

Hold Thou 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, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
