1Abide with Me
But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.
And he went in to tarry with them. Lk. 24:29
1. A

with
me;
fast
falls
the

tide;
The

ens;
Lord,
with
me
a

bide;
2. Swift
to
its
close
ebbs
out
life’s
lit

tle
day;
Earth’s
joys
grow
dim,
its
glo

3. I
need
Thy
pre

sence
eve

ry
pass

ing
hour;
What
but
Thy
grace
can
foil
the
tempt
-
er’s
pow’r?
4. I
fear
no
foe,
with
Thee
at
hand
to
bless;
Ills
have
no
weight,
and
tears
no
bit
-
ter

ness;
5. Hold
Thou
Thy
cross
be
-
fore
my
clos
-
ing
eyes;
Shine
thro’
the
gloom
and
point
me
to
the
skies;
When
oth

er
help
-
ers
fail
and
com
-
forts
flee,
Help
of
the
help
-
less,
oh,
a
-
bide
with
me.
Change
and
de

cay
in
all
a

round
I
see—
O
Thou
who
chang
-
est
not,
a
-
bide
with
me.
Who,
like
Thy
-
self,
my
guide
and
stay
can
be?
Thro’
cloud
and
sun
-
shine,
Lord,
a
-
bide
with
me.
Where
is
death’s
sting?
Where,
grave,
thy
vic

to

I
tri

umph
still,
if
Thou
a

bide
with
me.
Heav’n’s
morn
-
ing
breaks,
and
earth’s
vain
shad
-
ows
flee;
In
life,
in
death,
O
Lord,
a
-
bide
with
me.
