Abide with Me (Dietrich)

Abide with me; I need Thee ev­ery day

To lead me on thro’ all the wea­ry way;

When storms sur­round

and on­ly clouds I see

Lord

be my com­fort

and abide with me.

Abide with me from morn till eve

For with­out Thee I can­not live;

Abide with me when night is nigh

For with­out Thee

I dare not die.

Be with me

Lord

wher­e’er my path may lead;

Fulfill Thy word

sup­ply my ev­ery need;

Help me to live each day more close to Thee

And

oh

dear Lord

I pray

abide with me.

Abide with me

my Lord

and when at last

This earth and all its wea­ry cares are past;

I’ll pray no more that Thou abide with me

For then

at last

I shall abide with Thee.
