Verse 1 Abide, O dearest Jesus,
Among us with Thy grace,
That Satan may not harm us,
Nor we to sin give place.
Verse 2 Abide, O dear Redeemer,
Among us with Thy Word,
And thus now and hereafter
True peace and joy afford.
Verse 3 Abide with heav'nly brightness
Among us, precious Light;
Thy truth direct, and keep us
From error's gloomy night.
Verse 4 Abide with richest blessings
Among us, bounteous Lord;
Let us in grace and wisdom
Grow daily through Thy Word.
Verse 5 Abide with Thy protection
Among us, Lord, our Strength,
Lest world and Satan fell us
And overcome at length.
Verse 6 Abide, O faithful Savior,
Among us with Thy love;
Grant steadfastness, and help us
To reach our home above.
