Abide With Me Lyrics

Vic Reeves Abide With Me

[Verse 1]
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, oh, abide with me

[Verse 2]
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim and its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me
Ah!

Abide with me
Abide with me

[Verse 3]
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
Cos I triumph still ​if Thou abide with me

[Verse 4]
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

A-A-A-Amen!

Abide with me
Abide with me

[Fade out]
