Abide With Me

abide with me D A D G A abide with me; fast falls the eventide; D G Em A the darkness deepens; lord with me abide . D A D G Em when other helpers fail and comforts flee , D Bm G D A D help of the helpless , o abide with me . swift to its close ebbs out lifes little day; earths 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 tempters 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 deaths 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 . heavens morning breaks , and earths vain shadows flee; in life , in death , o lord , abide with me . hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies . heavens morning breaks , and earths vain shadows flee; in life , in death , o lord , abide with me .
