Daniel O'Donnell Abide With Me song 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, O abide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day,

Earth's 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 tempter's power?

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?

Thru cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!

Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes,

Shine thru the gloom and point me to the skies;

Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee,

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!
