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:

Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee:

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
