Intro –  A...  D   A  E…  A...  D   A  E…
Verse 1
Abide with Ame; fast falls the DevAenEtide;

When other F#m7helpers fail and DcomAforts Dflee,
Help of the Ahelpless, Eabide with Ame.
Verse 2

And though reAbellious and perDverse AmeanEwhile
Thou has not F#m7left me though I Doft Aleft Dthee
On to the Aclose, Lord, Eabide with Ame
Verse 3
I need Thy Apresence every DpassAing Ehour.
What but Thy Agrace can foil the DtemptAer's Epower?
Who, like ThyF#m7self, my guide and sDtay Acan Dbe?
Through cloud and Asunshine Eabide with Ame.
Verse 4
I fear no Afoe, with Thee at Dhand Ato bEless;
Ills have no Aweight, tears lose their DbitAternEess.
Where is thy F#m7sting, Death? Where, grave, thy DvicAtorDy?
I triumph Astill, Eabide with Ame.
Verse 5
Hold out Thy Across before my DclosAing Eeyes;
Shine through the gAloom and point me Dto Athe skEies.
Thy morning F#m7breaks and earthly DshadoAws Dflee
In life and Adeath, LordE, abide with Ame
In life and Adeath, LordE, abide with Ame
