Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #237b (1917) Lyrics: 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, O abide with me!
2 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.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!
4 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!
5 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 and death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Christ Abiding with Believers; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening; Creation By God; Darkness Natural; Presence, of Christ ; Nearness of God Languages: English Tune Title: TOULON
