The dark- ness deep- ens, Lord with me a- bide!

Help of the help- less, oh, a- bide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s lit- tle day;

oh, Thou who chang- est not, a- bide with me.

Familiar, condescending, patient, free.

Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.
