8. Пребудь со мной (Abide with me) (Priebut saw mnoi)

1 Пребудь со мной, уж свет сменился мглой.
Густеет тьма, Господь, пребудь со мной!
Когда лишусь опоры я земной,
Оплот бессильных, Ты пребудь со мной!

2 Так жизни день короткий утечет.
Померенет все земное и пройдет,
Все песни счастья - только звук пустой,
Друг неизменный, о пребудь со мной!

3 В Тебе нуждаюсь каждый час, мой Бог,
Померкнет все земное и пройдет,
И в светлый час, и облачной порой
Руководя, храня, пребудь со мной!

4 Не страшен враг, коль Ты, Господь, вблизи.
Скорбь не теснит, не знаю я тоски.
Где смерти жало? Ад, где ужас твой?
Бессильно все, лишь Ты пребудь со мной!

5 В предсмертный час, на Крест Свой укажи,
Звездою утренней, средь Тьмы, гори.
Светлеет небо ндвню зарей.
В жизни и смерти Сам пребудь со мной!

*****

1 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.

2 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.

3 I need thy presence every passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

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 triumph still, if thou abide with me.

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.
