Verse 1:
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, oh, abide with me.
Verse 2:
I fear no foe, with You at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if You abide with me.
Chorus:
Every part of my life Lord
Is open to You
As I surrender my all
God abide with me
And I will not fear
‘Cause You’re closer than near
God of creation
Abide with me
Verse 3:
Hold Your 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.
