Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Laudes Domini #135 (1888) Scripture: Luke 24:29 First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 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, oh, abide with me!
2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free,
Come, not to sojourn, but 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?
Thro' cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! Topics: Abide with Me; Close of Service; Communion of Saints With God Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
