ABIDE WITH ME
Saved by the Father’s gift of wondrous grace;
Raised from my sleep to see Thy shining face;
Life everlasting, Lord, with Thee I’ll spend;
Praising Thy name in glory without end.
So in this hope I live from day to day,
Knowing that Thou wilt keep me in Thy way;
Not life nor death, nor any other thing,
Can separate us, O my Lord and King.
I gladly pledge my life to this good news
If Thou wilt send, I never will refuse;
Thou, Christ, my Savior, rest I find in Thee,
My joy is full if Thou abide with me.
D. Edgar Lamp
