Abide With Me

Hayley Westenra - Abide with me

Abide with me;

Fast falls the eventide;

The darkness deepens;

O Lord, with me abide.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

Help of the helpless,

O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;

Earth's joys grow dim;

Its glories pass away;

Change and decay in all around I see;

O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;

Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.

Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
