Abide With Me

Abide With Me - The Mariners

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

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 O abide with me

Hold then 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
