A-bide with me fast falls the eventide
F C D7 G7
The darkness deepens Lord with me abide
C G7 C C7 F Dm
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
G7 C F C G7 C
Help of the helpless O abide with me
G7 C F G7 C
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
F C D7 G7
Earth’s joys grow dim its glories pass away
C G7 C C7 F Dm
Change and decay in all around I see
G7 C F C G7 C
O Thou who changes not abide with me
G7 C F G7 C
Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes
F C D7 G7
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
C G7 C C7 F Dm
Heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee
G7 C F C G7 C
In life in death O Lord abide with me
