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
Swift to its close
ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim
its glories pass away
Change and decay
in all around I see
O Thou who changest not
abide with me
[violin melody]
Hold Thou Thy cross
before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom
and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks
and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death
O Lord, abide with me
abide with me
