Closing Hymn
Closing Hymn
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, 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 changsest not, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord abide with me.
So mote it be.
