Song :
B
G D7 Em G C D7 G
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
C G D A7 D
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
G D7 Em G C E7 Am
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
D D7 G Em G D7 G
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
G D7 Em G C D7 G
Swift to its close; ebbs out lifes little day;
C G D A7 D
Earths joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
G D7 Em G C E7 Am
Change and decay; in all around I see
D D7 G Em G D7 G
O Thou who changest not; abide with me.
G D7 Em G C D7 G
I need Thy presence; every passing hour
C G D A7 D
What but Thy grace; can foil the tempters power
G D7 Em G C E7 Am
Who, like Thyself; my guide and stay can be
D D7 G Em G D7 G
Through cloud and sunshine Lord; abide with me.
G D7 Em G C D7 G
I fear no foe; with Thee at hand to bless;
C G D A7 D
Ills have no weight; and tears no bitterness;
G D7 Em G C E7 Am
Where is deaths sting; Where grave thy victory
D D7 G Em G D7 G
I triumph still if Thou; abide with me.
G D7 Em G C D7 G
Hold Thou Thy cross; before my closing eyes;
C G D A7 D
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
G D7 Em G C E7 Am
Heavens morning breaks; and earths vain shadows flee;
D D7 G Em G D7 G
In life, in death; O Lord, abide with me.
