Abide with me

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.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

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

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me

Tinggal sertaku; hari t’lah senja. G’lap makin turun,
Tuhan tinggallah! Lain pertolongan tiada kutemu:
Maha Penolong,tinggal sertaku!

Hidupku surut, ajal mendekat, nikmat duniawi hanyut melenyap.
Tiada yang tahan, tiad yang teguh; Kau yang abadi, tinggal sertaku!
 

Aku perlukan Dikau tiap jam; dalam cobaan Kaulah kupegang.
Siapa penuntun yang setaraMu? Sian dan malam tinggal sertaku!
 

Aku tak takut, kar’na Kau dekat; susah tak pahit duka tak berat.
Kubur dan maut, di mana jayamu?Tuhan yang bangkit tinggal sertaku!
 

B’rilah salibMu nyata di depan; tunjukkan jalan yang menuju t’rang.
Fajar menghalau kabut dan mendung. Tuhan, kekal Kau tinggal sertaku!
