william sterndale bennett - abide with me lyrics

Loading...

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

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

not a brief glance i beg, a passing word;
but as thou dwell’st with thy disciples, lord
familiar, condescending, patient, free
come not to sojourn, but abide with me

comе not in terrors, as the king of kings
but kind and good, with healing in thy wings
tеars for all woes, a heart for every plea
come, friend of sinners, and thus bide with me

thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
and, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
thou hast not left me, oft as i left thee
on to the close, o lord, abide with me

i need thy presence every passing hour
what but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
through cloud and sunshine, lord, 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
