Abide Lyrics And

**Chords:**
G  C  Em  D

G              C  
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;  
Em               D  
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.  
G                 C  
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,  
Em               D           G  
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.  

G              C  
I need Thy presence every passing hour;  
Em               D  
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?  
G                 C  
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?  
Em               D           G  
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.  

G              C  
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;  
Em               D  
Iills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.  
G                 C  
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?  
Em               D           G  
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.  

G              C  
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;  
Em               D  
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.  
G                 C  
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;  
Em               D           G  
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
