English text
- 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.
- I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour;
- What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
- Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
- Thro' 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.
Henry Francis Lyte
