Be Thou Thyself before my closing eye;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies
Heavens, morning breaks and earths vain shadow flee
In Life, In death, O Lord Abide with me
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies
Heavens, morning breaks and earths vain shadow flee
In Life, In death, O Lord Abide with me
