Abide With Me

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comfort me
Help of the helpless, O abide with me

2. I need Thy presence every passing day*
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like Thyself, my Guide and Stay can be?
Thro' clouds and sunshine, O abide with me

(* Note: The text of the hymn actually reads "hour," rhyming with "pow'r" in the next line. It is believed Clark made a mistake here that was not caught before the album went off to production.)
