Abide with me, fast falls the evening tide
The darkness deepens, lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, o, 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
Thou who changest not, abide with me

If fear no foe with thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitternes
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory
I triumph still if thou abides with me

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eye
Shine through the gloom and point me to the sky
As morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee
In life and death, o lord, abide with me
