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, O abide with me. • 2 • 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. • 3 • 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. • 4 • 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! • ------------------------------------------------------------------- • First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide • Title: Abide With Me • Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1847) • Meter: 10.10.10.10 • Language: English • Copyright: Public Domain • Liturgical Use: Prayer Songs • -------------------------------------------------------------------- • According to an edition of the British Weekly, in the late summer of 1847, after preaching his final sermon, knowing his time on earth was drawing to a close, Henry Francis Lyte “walked in the valley garden in front of the home, then down to the rocks, where he sat and composed. It was a lovely sunny day and the sun was setting over distant Dartmoor in a blaze of glory. On the left lay Brixham harbor like a pool of molten gold, with its picturesque trawling vessels lying peacefully at anchor. After the sun had set, Lyte returned to his study. His family thought he was resting, but he was putting the finishing touches to his immortal hymn” (Bailey, The Gospel in Hymns, 171). Later that fall, Lyte passed away, but his hymn has indeed endured through the years as a beloved hymn of peace and prayer in the face of change. Theodore L. Cuyler once relayed a story in which a dying woman recited this hymn as she lay in bed during her last hours. He writes, “As I came away from that room, which had been as the vestibule of heaven, I understood how the ‘light of eventide’ could be only a flashing forth of the overwhelming glory that plays for ever around the throne of God” (Sankey, My Life and Sacred Songs, 57). What a beautiful image when we see the light of day ebbing – this light is only a shadow of the light of life that shines forth from Christ. • -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • I pray that you will enjoy be blessed with this song! :) • #hymns #hymnsofworship #Abidewithme
