1・日くれて四方はくらく わがたまはいとさびし
よるべなき身のたよる 主よともに宿りませ
2・人生(いのち)のくれちかづき 世のいろかうつりゆく
とこしえにかわらざる 主よともに宿りませ
3・世の闇おしせまりて いざないの声しげし
時のまも去りまさで 主よともに宿りませ
4・死の刺(はり)いずこにある 主のちかくましまさば
われ勝ちてあまりあらん 主よともに宿りませ
5・十字架のくしきひかり 閉ずる目にあおがしめ
みさかえにさむるまで 主よともに宿りませ
1.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5.
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.
