Abide, O Dearest Jesus

Abide, O dearest Jesus,
among us with your grace
that Satan may not harm us
nor we to sin give place.

Abide, O dear Redeemer,
among us with your Word
and thus now and hereafter
true peace and joy afford.

Abide with heav'nly brightness
among us, precious Light;
your truth direct and keep us
from error's gloomy night.

Abide with richest blessings
among us, bounteous Lord;
let us in grace and wisdom
grow daily through your Word.

Abide with your protection
among us, Lord, our strength,
lest world and Satan fell us
and overcome at length.

Abide, O faithful Savior,
among us with your love;
grant steadfastness and help us
to reach our home above.
