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, O 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 ev'ry 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, O 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.

1 Señor Jesús, la luz de sol se fue.
La noche cierra; tú conmigo sé.
No hay otro amparo; ten, pues, compasión,
y al desvalido da consolación.
2 Veloz se va la vida con su afán;
su gloria, sus ensueños pasarán.
Mudanza y muerte veo en derredor.
Conmigo sé, bendito Salvador.
3 Siempre tu gracia sea mi sostén.
¿Quién otro puede al tentador vencer?
Tan solo en ti mi guía encontraré.
En sombra sol, Señor, conmigo sé.
4 No temo el mal si tú conmigo vas;
al enemigo tú lo vencerás.
En medio de miseria y de dolor,
Señor Jesús, sé tú mi auxiliador.
5 Cuando mis ojos cierren a la luz,
se alce ante mí la gloria de tu cruz.
Pasen las sombras, triunfe al fin la fe.
Jesús, conmigo, en vida y muerte, sé.
