Abide With Me Chords by Sara Groves

_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] Abide with me, fast [D] falls the [A] _ [E] eventide, the darkness [A] _ deepens.
Lord [D] with [A] me abide, [E] _ when [F#m] other helpers fail and [D] comforts flee.
[A] Help of [E] the helpless, abide [A] with me.
Thou on my head, in early youth didst smile, _ in the [A] _ rebellious and perverse [E] meanwhile.
Thou _ [F#m] hast not left me, [D] though I off left thee.
[A] Unto [E] the close, Lord, abide [A] with me.
I need thy presence, [D] every [A] passing [E] hour. _
What but [A] thy grace, can for [D] the [A]
tempter's [E] power?
Who [F#m] like thy self might, _
[D] guidance take and heed?
[A] Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me. _ _ _

_ _ [E] _ [A] I _ [D] [A] hear no throat, [D] with thee at hand [E] to bless.
Hills [A] have no way, tears [D] lose their [A]
bitterness.
[E] _ Where [F#m] is thy sting, death?
Where quake thy victory?
[D] _ _ I [A] triumph still, abide with me.
_ Hold out thy cross, before [D] my closing [E] eyes.
Shine [A] through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
[F#m] Thy morning breaks, and earthly shadows [D] flee.
[A] In [E] life and death, Lord, abide with [A] me.
In life and death, Lord, [E] abide [A] with me. _ _
