Abide With Me
William Henry Monk
= 80
A bide with me, fast falls the ev en tide
Swift to its close ebbs out life's lit tle day
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Hold Thou Thy cross be fore my clos ing eyes
5
The dark ness deep ens Lord, with me a bide
Earth's joys grow dim, its glor ies pass a way
Ills have no weight, and tears no bit ter ness
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
9
When o ther help ers fail and com forts flee
Change and de cay in all a round I see
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy vic tor y?
Heav'n's morn ing breaks, and earth's vain sha dows flee
13
Help of the help less, oh, a bide with me.
O Thou who chang est not, a bide with me.
I tri umph still if Thou a bide with me.
In life, in death, O Lord, a bide with me.
