John McNally - Abide With Me Lyrics

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
Oh abide with me

I need thy presence
Every 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
Oh abide with me

Oh thou thy cross
Before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom
And point me to the skies
Heav'ns morning breaks
And earth's reign shadows flee
In life, in death, oh Lord
Abide with me

In life, in death, oh Lord
Abide with me...
