Words:
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, 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 GRACE 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.
