Abide with grace unbounded,
Lord Jesus, with us still,
That Satan's craft confounded
May no more work us ill.
Abide with us, dear Savior,
Both with and in Thy Word:
To us both now and ever
Thy saving health afford.
Abide with all Thy brightness,
Thou brightest Light of all;
And lest we stray from rightness,
Make Thou Thy truth our wall.
Abide with us and bless us,
Thou Lord whose riches 'bide;
With growing grace possess us
And all things best provide.
Abide with Thy protection,
Great Captain, clothed with might;
O'ercome our world affection
And vanquish Satan's spite.
Abide with care untiring,
Our God and Lord indeed;
All steadfastness inspiring,
Help, Lord, our every need.
Josua Stegmann, 1630.
Tr. A. Ramsey, 1916.
