263. Abide with Us, Our Savior

1 Abide with us, our Savior,
Nor let your mercy cease;
From Satan's might defend us,
And grant our souls release.

2 Abide with us, our Savior,
Sustain us by your Word;
That we with all your people
To life may be restored.

3 Abide among us always,
Lord, with your faithfulness;
O Jesus, leave us never,
But help us in distress.

4 Abide with us, our Savior,
O Light of endless light,
Bestow on us your blessings,
And save us by your might.
