| Abide, O dearest Jesus,Among us with Thy grace,
 That Satan may not harm us,
 Nor we to sin give place.
 Abide, O dear Redeemer,Among us with Thy Word,
 And thus now and hereafter
 True peace and joy afford.
 Abide with heav’nly brightnessAmong us, precious Light;
 Thy truth direct, and keep us
 From error’s gloomy night.
 Abide with richest blessingsAmong us, bounteous Lord;
 Let us in grace and wisdom
 Grow daily through Thy Word.
 Abide with Thy protectionAmong us, Lord, our Strength,
 Lest world and Satan fell us
 And overcome at length.
 Abide, O faithful Savior,Among us with Thy love;
 Grant steadfastness, and help us
 To reach our home above.
