Abide with Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Abide with me: fast fal[G]ls
[Bm]the eventide;
the [Em]twilight [D]dee[G]pens; Lord,
with [Abdim]me abide.[E][A]
[D]When other helpers [G]fail
and [B]comforts [C]fle[Em]e,
Help of the [D]helpless,
O abide [A]with me.

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D][G][D][Bm][D][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Swift to its close ebbs [G]out[A]
[D]life’s little [Bm]day;
[G]earth’s joys grow [Em]dim,
[D]its glo[G]ries pas[Abdim]s away.[E][A]
[D]Change and decay in [G]all around [B]I s[C]ee.
[Em]O th[D]ou who[Em] cha[D]ngest not,
[A]abide with me.

[Verse 3]
I fear no foe with thee at [Bm]hand to bless,
[D]ills [G]hav[A]e n[Bm]o weight,[D] and
tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where,
[G]grave, [D]thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

[Verse 4]
I fear no [D]foe with [G]thee at [D]hand to bless,
[Bm]ills [D]have no weight,
and [G]tears [Abdim]no bitter[D]ness.[A]
[D]Where is death’s sting? Where,
[G]grave, [B]thy [C]victory?
[Em]I triumph st[D]ill,
if thou [A]abide with me.

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Hold thou thy cross be[G]fore
[D]my closing [Bm]eyes.
Shine [G]through [D]the [Em]gloom [D]and poi[G]nt me
[Abdim]to the sk[D]ies.[A][D]
Heaven’s morning breaks [G]and
earth’s vain [B]shadows [Ebdim]flee;[C][Em]
in life, [D]in [Em]death; in life, in d[D]eath;
[Em]in life, in de[D]ath, O Lord, abide w[A]ith me.[D]
