New English Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal

Hymn 50 ABIDE WITH ME Lyrics

1
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.

2
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.

3
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.

4
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!
