You have always been there 
I  have been  in your care
and soon your face I'll see 
when you finally welcome me

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, ever be with me.

 Swift to its close comes life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories fade away.
Change and decay all around do I see.
O God who changes not, abide with me.

 I need your presence each passing hour
only your grace can defeat Satan's power
 only you can strengthen and set me free
all through my life Oh Lord abide with  me

your face I see before my closing eyes.
your angels wait to take me to the skies.
Heaven appears and earth's dark shadows flee;
and now I pray O lord abide with me

You have always been there 
I've been always in your care
and soon your face I'll see 
when you finally welcome me
 

abide with me

abide with me

abide with me

Henry Francis Lyte and Norman Brule
