Abide with God

Abide with God

Begin each day with the Lord at your side.
With Him every step of the way continually abide.
Never from His presence go astray.
Always come to Him in prayer every day.
Obey His voice and to its Words pay heed.
Do this in every action and deed.
Go through life holding His hand.
He will safely protect you from the evil one and his band.
Come one, come all join with me in happy song.
Come back to the Precious Lord where you belong.
Safe am I, safe am I you can sing.
Because Jesus Christ Everlasting Salvation did bring.

An old song that still rings true in today.

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, oh, 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—
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every 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, Lord, abide with me.
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.
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.
