Intro -  C G - Am - Em - Dm - G - C


(verse 1)
 CGAmEmDmGC
 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
 CDmCFCGAmDG
The darkness deepens, Lord with me ab-ide.
 CEAmEmDmADm
When other help-ers fail and comfort flee,
 GCGCEAmDmCGC
Help of the helpless, O  ab-ide with me.

(verse 2)
 CGAmEmDmGC
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
 CDmCFCGAmDG
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass a-way.
 CEAmEmDmADm
Change and decay in  all around I see;
 GCGCEAmDmCGC
 O Thou who changest not, ab-ide with me.

(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
