Words by Henry F. Lyte, 1847. Music by William H. Monk, 1861. Arranged by Moses Hogan
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?
Through cloud and sunshine,
O abide with me.
O Thou who changest not,
Abide with me.
In life, in death, O Lord,
Abide with me.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
