2. Abide With Me
“And now…abide in Him; that, when He shall
appear, we may have confidence.” I John 2:28
Text: Henry F. Lyte; Music: EVENTIDE
by William H. Monk; Key of E flat major
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?
Through cloud and sunshine, O 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
