Lyrics

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee. Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. I need Thy head, in early youth didst smile. And though rebellious, and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, though I often left Thee. On to the close, Lord, abide with me. I need Thy presence, every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foul the tempter’s pow’r. Who like Thyself my Guide and Stay can be? Thro’ cloud and sunshine, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless. Ills have no weight, tears lose their bitterness. Where is Thy sting O Death? Where, grave Thy victory? I triumph still, abide with me. Hold Thou Thy cross, before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. The morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee. In life and death, Lord, abide with me. In life and death, Lord, abide with me.

(Note that the lyrics may be changed due to 1) this score is different from the original song by Audrey Assad, since this is on piano, and 2) changed to be easier to sing, some words are too long)

Glory to God! Who is with us wherever we go, always forgiving of sins through repentance, always caring, always loving, always leading us on in the Holy Spirit, abiding with us. We thank you for this day, O God, for breath, for life! Abide with us O Lord, for truly You are King, and may Your Name be glorified even to the end of the age! Amen.
