A-bide 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

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
F C D7 G7
Earth’s joys grow dim its glories pass away
C G7 C C7 F Dm
Change and decay in all around I see
G7 C F C G7 C
O Thou who changes not abide with me

Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
C G7 C C7 F Dm
Heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee

In life in death O Lord abide with me
