Abide With Me

**Chords:**

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

C                   G
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Am                Em
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
F                  C
Change and decay in all around I see;
G                C
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

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

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