Testo
Abide with me fast falls the even tide
The darkness steepens Lord with me abide
When other helpers fails and comforts flee
Help of helpless, Lord abide with me
Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need the every hour
O come abide with me
I need thy presence every passing hour
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power
Who like thy self, my guide and stake in me
Through cloud and tempest, Lord abide with me
Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need thee every hour
O come abide with me
By fear no foe with thee I am to bless
Ills have no weight and tears, no bitterness
Where is death's sting? Where grave thy victory?
Our triumph still if thou abide with me
Our triumph still if thou abide with me
Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need thee every hour
O come, abide with me
Abide, abide, abide with me
Lord, I need thee every hour
O come, abide with me
O thou thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the night and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks and Earth dark shadow flee
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
