Groves, Sara - Abide With Me Lyrics






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, abide with me

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile
Thou hast not left me though I oft left Thee
On to the close, Lord, abide with me

I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me

I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, tears lose their bitterness
Where is thy sting death? Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, abide with me

Hold out Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Thy morning breaks and earthly shadows flee
In life and death, Lord, abide with me
In life and death, Lord, abide with me

Groves, Sara Abide With Me Comments

    some friends can send me link of mp3 dwonloade song Sara Groves

    Does anyone know who wrote the melody used in this recording? This isn't the "Eventide" tune that is most often used for "Abide with Me," though this is also a beautiful tune.

    I'm pretty sure Sara composed this alternate melody. The Eventide version is the original old hymn. Sara likes to record alternate versions to popular old hymns. Here's a video I made for her alternate version of "Fairest Lord Jesus". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0gJFiDD2_A

    What will we say when we stand before the Throne of Judgement and see God face to face. Please accept Jesus as your Savior if you have not already. God bless.

    Glad you found my video. Yes, it is a wonderful song, and in fact the entire album is wonderful. It's got a little bit of a folk/country feel to it. And here is a video I made for my favorite Sara Groves song. Not from the "Abide With Me" album, though. Called "When The Saints."

    A masterpiece, Bob! The visual accompaniment and the lyrics posted are incredibly effective. I'm taking a photography class and your choice of photos tells me you don't need the class! Thanks again.

    Thank you for your kind words. You know, this gift that I discovered to make these videos about 10 years ago is a surprise to me. I am a geek, I majored in mathematics, and for most of my life I had no creative or cultural talent. Then God, in his perfect timing, opened up this gift to me. It's so cool the way He works.

    That's for sure. Just this weekend my husband's daughter was asking for a measurement on a logo she was designing for a hat and in walked a friend with a hat with that very type of patch she needed to measure. My husband is becoming closer to the faith of his great-grandparents and I'm so happy how God works in our lives -- on His timetable.
