Abide, O Dearest Jesus

Abide

O dear­est Je­sus

Among us with Thy grace

That Sa­tan may not harm us

Nor we to sin give place.

Abide

O dear Re­deem­er

Among us with Thy Word

And thus now and here­af­ter

True peace and joy af­ford.

Abide with heav’n­ly bright­ness

Among us

pre­cious Light;

Thy truth di­rect

and keep us

From er­ror’s gloomy night.

Abide with rich­est bless­ings

Among us

boun­te­ous Lord;

Let us in grace and wis­dom

Grow dai­ly through Thy Word.

Abide with Thy pro­tect­ion

Among us

Lord

our strength

Lest world and Sa­tan fell us

And ov­er­come at length.

Abide

O faith­ful Sav­ior

Among us with Thy love;

Grant stead­fast­ness

and help us

To reach our home ab­ove.
