When helpers fail,
When fears assail,
Help of the helpless.
Abide with me endless.
When hope vanishes,
When strength diminishes,
Hope of the hopeless,
Abide with me endless.
When storms ascend,
When shadows descend,
Power of the powerless,
Abide with me endless.
When billows over me roll,
When sorrows my soul control,
Rest of the restless,
Abide with me endless.
Abide with me Rock of my salvation,
Abide with me Israel's consolation,
Abide with me the desire of every nation.
