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!

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?

Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
