Abide With Me

by Frank Gould

All the day, in sweet communion
Jesus I have walked with thee;
Do not now withdraw thy presence,
from this hour abide with me.

One by one, the evening shadows
Gather darkly o'er the lea,
Yet the light of peace remaineth
If thou still abide with me.

Chorus

Thou my life my only guide,
There is nought in heav'n or earth I ask but thee
Hear my prayer, my soul's petition,
Go not hence, abide with me.
