| A-bide with me, fast falls the eventide |
| The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide |
| When other helpers fail, and comforts flee |
| Help of the helpless, Oh abide with me |
| Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day |
| Earth joys grow dim, its glories pass away |
| Change and decay in all around I see |
| Oh 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, Oh abide with me |
| Oh thou thy cross before my closing eyes |
| Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies |
| Heav’ns morning breaks, and earth’s reign shadows flee |
| In life and death, Oh Lord, abide with me |
| In life and death, Oh Lord, abide with me |
