Abide With Me | Christian Church Hymn | Choral Version (SATB) with Lyrics | Sunday 7pm Choir

Details

Description

This beautiful Christian hymn, sung in four-part harmony, is a prayer for God to remain present with the speaker throughout life, through trials, and through death.

The opening line alludes to Luke 24:29, "Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent", and the last verse sung draws on text from 1 Corinthians 15:55, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

The hymn was composed by Scottish Anglican Henry Francis Lyte, and is normally sung to the tune "Eventide" by William Henry Monk.

Lyrics:

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.

I need Your presence every passing hour.
What but Your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Yourself, my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with You at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if You abide with me.
