Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless, Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 5 Hold Thou Thy 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 and death, O Lord, abide with me!
