Abide With Me
Abide with me in spring’s full blush
Twirl in the rain and slop through slush
Feel our hearts pound in joyful rush
Abide with me, in spring’s full blush
Abide with me in summer’s fields
Fierce with heat the hot sun wields
Cool lakes to serve as swelters’ shields
Abide with me, in summer’s fields
Abide with me in autumn’s chill
When nights are cool and all is still
Beside the fire, to touch and thrill
Abide with me, in autumn’s chill
Abide with me in winter’s hush
Lie in my arms, on cushions plush
I’ll kiss your lips so dear and lush
Abide with me, in winter’s hush
Abide with me till we grow old
Rejoice in love never grown cold
In life that’s lived, vows we uphold
Abide with me, till we grow old
And when our time on earth is through
My love will e’er abide with you.
