Abide With Me Misc. Gospel
A[E]bide [B7]with [E]me, fast [A]falls the[E] even[B7]tide;
[E]The darkness [A]deep[E]ens, [F]Lord with me [B7]abide.
[E]When [B7]other [E]helpers [A]fail and comforts [F#m7]flee,
[B7]Help of the [E]helpless, [A]O a[E]bide [B7]with [E]me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
