Letra da Música Abide With Me de Hayley Westenra

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, oh, 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.

I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter?s pow?r?
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;
Heav?n?s morning breaks, and earth?s vain shadows
flee;
In life, in death, o lord, abide with me.
