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.
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.
