The darkness deep - ens;     Lord with me a - bide

When other help - ers     fail and comforts flee

Help of the helpless, O a - bide     with    me

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day

Earth's joys grow dim;  its    glories pass a - way

Change and de - cay    in    all a - round I see

I     need Thy pres - ence     ev'ry  passing hour
D            G     D/F#   Em7      E7        A
What but Thy grace can    foil the tempter's pow'r
D   A          Bm       D/F#  G         B7
Who like Thy - self,    my    Guide and Stay can
Em
be

Through cloud and sunshine, O a - bide     with

Verse 4

D     A       Bm     D/F#    G       A       D
I     fear no foe    with    Thee at hand to bless
D            G      D/F#   Em7      E7       A
Ills have no weight and    tears no bitter - ness

Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victo -
Em
ry?
A/G       D/F#       G        D/A      A7      D
I triumph still if   Thou a - bide     with    me

Hold   Thou Thy cross   be -  fore my closing eyes
D                 G     D/F#   Em7      E7
Shine through the gloom and    point me to the
A
skies
D        A       Bm      D/F#   G            B7
Heav'n's morning breaks  and    earth's vain shadows
Em
flee

In life, in death, O Lord, a - bide     with
D
me
