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.

I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour;

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?

Thro' 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.

Henry Francis Lyte
