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 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 o abide with me.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



Abide with me...
