Who like yourself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I have no fear with you at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
