Hayley Westenra Abide With Me Lyrics

Abide With Me 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.
