Abide With Me Chords

   [VERSE 1]
 
 G  D7   Em       G    C         D7  G
 A..bide with me; fast falls the eventide;
         C    G        D          A7 D
 The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
 G    D7    Em      G        C  E7    Am
 When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
 D    D7     G   Em        G     D7   G
 Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
 
   [VERSE 2]
 
 G     D7     Em     G    C         D7     G
 Swift to its close; ebbs out lifes little day;
             C    G    D           A7   D
 Earths joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
 G      D7  Em     G  C   E7     Am
 Change and decay; in all around I see
 D      D7  G        Em   G     D7   G
 O Thou who changest not; abide with me.
 
   [VERSE 3]
 
 G  D7       Em G     C      D7      G
 I  need Thy presence; every passing hour
          C   G      D            A7       D
 What but Thy grace; can foil the tempters power
 G    D7   Em       G     C      E7   Am
 Who, like Thyself; my guide and stay can be
 D       D7        G  Em          G     D7   G
 Through cloud and sunshine Lord; abide with me.
 
   [VERSE 4]
 
 G       D7 Em   G            C    D7  G
 I  fear no foe; with Thee at hand to bless;
      C       G       D            A7    D
 Ills have no weight; and tears no bitterness;
 G     D7        Em     G     C         E7 Am
 Where is deaths sting; Where grave thy victory
 D  D7      G        Em    G     D7   G
 I  triumph still if Thou; abide with me.
 
   [VERSE 5]
 
 G    D7       Em     G      C  D7      G
 Hold Thou Thy cross; before my closing eyes;
       C           G          D        A7     D
 Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
 G       D7      Em      G   C           E7      Am
 Heavens morning breaks; and earths vain shadows flee;
 D        D7        G  Em    G     D7   G
 In life, in death; O  Lord, abide with me.
