1 Jesus, Saviour! hear my call,
Sinful though 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 Thou hast died the lost to save,
Died to set the captive free;
Thou didst triumph o’er the grave,
Lord, abide with me.
4 Fill me with thy love divine,
Consecrate my life to thee;
Bend my stubborn will to thine,
Lord, abide with me.
5 When the shades of death prevail,
Father, let me cling to thee;
When I pass the gloomy vail,
Lord, abide with me.
6 Then, oh, then, my raptured soul
Heaven’s eternal rest shall see;
There, while endless ages roll,
Live and reign with me.
