Key: CVerse 1:
CGAmEmDmGC
Abide with me, fast falls the even tide,
CDmCFCDmAmDG
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide;
CEmAmEmDmADm
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
GCGCAmCGC
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
Verse 2:
CGAmEmDmGC
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day,
CDmCFCDmAmDG
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
CEmAmEmDmADm
Change and decay in all around I see,
GCGCAmCGC
O Thou who changest not, abide with me!
Verse 3:
CGAmEmDmGC
I need Thy presence every passing hour;
CDmCFCDmAmDG
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
CEmAmEmDmADm
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
GCGCAmCGC
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
Verse 4:
CGAmEmDmGC
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless,
CDmCFCDmAmDG
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness;
CEmAmEmDmADm
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
GCGCAmCGC
I triumph still if Thou abisde with me.
Verse 5:
CGAmEmDmGC
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
CDmCFCDmAmDG
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
CEmAmEmDmADm
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
GCGCAmCGC
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
