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.
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, 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.
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.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings;
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings:
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings:
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus 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, oh, abide with me.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me.

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?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
Where is death’s sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

No matter how gloomy, the present situation,
No matter the woes, that stare at us,
No matter the Rage of the 😈,
No matter the battle, confronting us
With the Saviour's power , comfortable, counsel, and spirit we shall come out triumphant.
Abide with us in Nigeria, help us not to give in, give out or chicken out for the devil and his cohorts.

O what a peace of mind and heart to know and sing with the writer that there is change and decay, and dimming of earth's joys and glories, and that there is a CONSTANT in amidst these variables!!!
Jesus Christ our Rock. Yeah, we triumph still if God abide with us.
Hallelujah Amen.

I am currently reading a book by Elizabeth Strout titled “ Abide With Me”. The hymn and lyrics are mentioned throughout. I had heard the hymn all my life, but reread the lyrics here and it is a good hymn to help in troubling times-very comforting.

This song lifts me, empties me, lets me float away and abandons me at Beulah land. 🙏🙏

One of my greatest inspiring songs. The Lord just brought this song to my spirit this early morning after praying. What a comfort from the Holy Spirit.
Am happy to see the full lyrics here
