43. Lord, Abide With Me

1 Jesus, Saviour! hear my call,
Sinful tho’ my heart may be,
Thou, my life, my hope, my all;—
Lord, abide with me.

2 Lonely in a stranger land,
Cast me not away from Thee,
Lead me by thy gentle hand;—
Lord, abide with me.

3 Fill me with Thy love divine,
Consecrate my life to Thee,
Bend my stubborn will to Thine;—
Lord, abide with me.
