Abide with me, fast falls the eventide 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 eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies; Heavens morning breaks, and earths vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
