Eb Cm Ab (Bb) Eb Abide with me: fast falls the eventide: Eb Ab Fm7 Bb The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: Eb Cm Fm When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Bb7 Eb Cm Eb Bb Eb Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Eb Cm Ab (Bb) Eb Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Eb Ab Fm7 Bb Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Eb Cm Fm Change and decay in all around I see; Bb7 Eb Cm Eb Bb Eb O thou who changest not, abide with me. Eb Cm Ab (Bb) Eb I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour; Eb Ab Fm7 Bb What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Eb Cm Fm Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Bb7 Eb Cm Eb Bb Eb Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. Eb Cm Ab (Bb) Eb I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless: Eb Ab Fm7 Bb Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Eb Cm Fm Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? Bb7 Eb Cm Eb Bb Eb I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Eb Cm Ab (Bb) Eb Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes: Eb Ab Fm7 Bb Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Eb Cm Fm Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: Bb7 Eb Cm Eb Bb Eb In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Ab Eb (Amen)
