Not on kalimba, bells & xylophone, harmonica: no key keeps every note on those instruments without sharps, flats or bends.
Words (first verse)
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 abide with me.
