Abide with me

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…

Jesus, lover of my soul
