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.

Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.

Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee-
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Before Thy throne, O Lord of heav'n, We kneel at close
The brightness of the com- ing night Up - on the darkness rolls;
Slow-ly the bright stars, one by one,
With-in the heavens shine;
Give us a res - pite from our
Calm and sub- due our woes;
