Be my last thought, how sweet to rest

For ever on my Saviour’s breast!

Abide with me from morn till eve,

For without Thee I cannot live!

Abide with me when night is nigh,

For without Thee I dare not die!

If some poor wandering child of Thine

Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine,—

Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;

Let him no more lie down in sin!
