Artist: Traditional
Title: Abide with me
Traditional - Abide with me
Intro - C G - Am - Em - Dm - G - C
(verse 1)
C G Am Em Dm G C
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
C Dm C F C G Am D G
The darkness deepens, Lord with me ab-ide.
C E Am Em Dm A Dm
When other help-ers fail and comfort flee,
G C G C E Am Dm C G C
Help of the helpless, O ab-ide with me.
(verse 2)
C G Am Em Dm G C
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
C Dm C F C G Am D G
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass a-way.
C E Am Em Dm A Dm
Change and decay in all around I see;
G C G C E Am Dm C G C
O Thou who changest not, ab-ide with me.
(verse 3)
I need Thy prescence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thy Self my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
(verse 4)
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where grave, Thy victory?
I tuiumph still if Thou abide with me.
(verse 5)
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
