Abide With Me

Hayley Westenra - Abide with me
Abide with me;
Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens;
O Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless,
O abide with me.
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.
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.
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
