Abide With Me
Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The darkness deepens, lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, o, abide with me
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
If fear no foe with thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no bitternes
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory
I triumph still if thou abides with me
Hold thou thy cross before my closing eye
Shine through the gloom and point me to the sky
As morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee
In life and death, o lord, abide with me
In "Abide With Me," William Henry Monk set a poem by Henry Francis Lyte. The song has long been a favorite at Christian funerals, but its message of finding strength through faith and calling on God to remain by our sides is universal. The first stanza sets the scene, with the singer asking for God's reassuring presence as night falls and the world seems more lonely and frightening. In the second verse, the singer reflects on the transitory nature of human existence and the impermanence of earthly pleasures, yet finds comfort in the constancy of God. The third and final verse offers a message of hope, with the singer asserting that if God is with them, they can overcome any obstacle.
Despite its somber tone, "Abide With Me" is a song with a message of hope and faith that has resonated with listeners across generations. It speaks to the idea that we are never alone, even in our darkest moments, and that there is always reason to hope for the future. By reaching out to God and asking for his continued presence and guidance, we can find the strength we need to overcome any obstacle and face the future with hope in our hearts.

When other helpers fail and comforts flee
When my helpers and comforts abandon me

As morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee
As a new day dawns and the meaningless things of the earth disappear
In life and death, o lord, abide with me
Please stay with me, Lord, both in life and in death
