1. My days with sunshine shall be fraught,
My sorrow, joy shall be,
And thorny ways shall seem as naught,
If Christ abide with me.
Chorus:
I shall be safely (I shall be safely,) kept from sin, (safely kept from sin,)
My life be glad (Each moment glad and free,) and free; (yes, glad and free;)
For I shall have (For I shall have) sweet peace within (sweet peace, sweet peace within,)
If Christ abide (If Christ abide with me) with me. (abide with me.)
2. No evil ever shall befall,
No burdens heavy be,
For Christ will gladly take them all
If He abide with me.
3. If shadows make my pathway dim,
I shall not need to see;
But sweetly trust my way with Him
Who will abide with me.
4. My storms are calm at His behest,
Who spoke to Galilee,
And fears shall never rob my rest,
If Christ abide with me.
5. No pow’rs of life or death can harm,
All griefs and dangers flee,
If I but trust in Christ’s strong arm,
When He abides with me.
