SS&S 297: ABIDE WITH ME, FAST FALLS THE EVEN-TIDE
1. Abide with me: fast falls the even-tide;
The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, 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. Come not in terrors, as the King of kings;
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea ;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
4. 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, oh, abide with me!
5. 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.
6. Be Thou Thyself 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, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
