Abide With Me lyrics

Song information

Artist: Hayley Westenra
Album: Celtic Treasure

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, 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
