| (verse 3) |
| I need Thy prescence every passing hour; |
| What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? |
| Who like Thy Self my guide and stay can be? |
| Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. |
| (verse 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 tuiumph still if Thou abide with me. |
| (verse 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, in death, O Lord, abide with me |
