Abide With Me

C G7        C       F         G7  C
A-bide with me fast falls the eventide
             F   C   D7            G7
The darkness deepens Lord with me abide
C    G7    C  C7   F                 Dm
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
G7          C        F  C    G7   C
Help of the helpless O abide with me

      G7     C          F          G7     C
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
             F        C   D7           G7
Earth’s joys grow dim its glories pass away
C      G7  C  C7    F            Dm
Change and decay in all around I see
G7         C       F   C     G7   C
O Thou who changes not abide with me

     G7       C      F       G7      C
Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes
                  F     C   D7              G7
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
C        G7      C     C7    F                    Dm
Heaven’s morning breaks  and earth’s vain shadows flee
G7         C       F    C     G7   C
In life in death O Lord abide with me
