Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal ‎#8

8. Abide with us, Lord Jesus!

1 Abide with us, Lord Jesus!
Thy grace sustain our hearts,
That Satan may not harm us
With his malignant arts.

2 Abide with the assurance
Of Thy redeeming word,
That peace, now and hereafter,
Be ours through Thee, O Lord.

3 Abide, and with Thy radiance
Cheer us, resplendent Light;
Thy truth direct, and keep us
From error's gloomy night.

4 Abide, and let Thy blessing,
Lord, rest on us alway,
All needful strength and graces
Grant Thou us day by day.

5 Abide, be Thy protection
Our safety, tower and shield
Lest world and Satan fell us,
And drive us from the field.

6 Abide then with us, Savior!
Our constant, faithful Friend;
Grant steadfastness and patience,
And vict'ry in the end.
