Abide with us, our Savior,
Nor let your mercy cease;
From Satan’s might defend us,
And give our hearts your peace.
Abide with us, our Helper,
Sustain us by your word;
Let us and all your people
To living faith be stirred.
Abide with us, Redeemer,
O Light, eternal Light;
Your truth direct and guide us
To flee from error’s night.
Abide in princely bounty
With us, large hearted Lord,
Our lives with grace and wisdom
Enriching through your Word.
Abide as our protector
Among us, Lord, our strength;
Let world and wily Satan
Be overcome at length.
Abide among us always,
O Lord, our faithful friend,
And take us to your mansions
When time and world shall end.
