Mahalia Jackson
Abide With Me
Abide with me, fast falls the evening tide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, O, abide with me
Hold thou thy cross before my closing eye
Shine through the gloom and point me to the sky
As morning breaks and Earth's vain shadows flee
In life and death, O Lord, abide with me
