Since Without Thee We Do No Good

Since with­out Thee we do no good

And with Thee do no ill

Abide with us in weal and woe

In act­ion and in will.

In weal

that while our lips con­fess

The Lord who gives

we may

Remember with a hum­ble thought

The Lord who takes away.

In woe

that while to drown­ing tears

Our hearts their joys re­sign

We may re­mem­ber who can turn

Such wa­ter in­to wine.

By hours of day

that when our feet

O’er hill and val­ley run

We still may think the light of truth

More wel­come than the sun.

By hours of night

that when the air

Its dew and sha­dow yields

We still may hear the voice of God

In si­lence of the fields.

Abide with us

ab­ide with us

While flesh and soul agree;

And when our flesh is on­ly dust

Abide our souls with Thee.
