Abide with me

(Sung text for setting by C. Ives)

See original

Language: English

Our translations: GER GER ITA

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O Lord,  abide with me.

 ... 

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
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.

Restami accanto

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Ives)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English

Restami accanto! Rapida la sera scende;
il buio si fa fitto! Signore resta con me.
Quando ogni altro aiuto manca, e niente più conforta,
Tu, che soccorri i deboli, sempre al mio fianco resta. 

 ... 

Solleva la Tua croce, sul mio sguardo morente;
splendi attraverso il buio e guidami verso il cielo.
Irrompe già l'aurora, svanisce ogni ombra terrena;
In vita e in morte, Signore, accanto a me rimani.
