Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,672 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:20 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 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. 5 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.

"I'll make your great commission known, And ye shall prove my gospel true, By all the works that I have done, By all the wonders ye shall do. "Go heal the sick, go raise the dead, Go cast out devils in my name; Nor let my prophets be afraid, Though Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme. "Teach all the nations my commands, I'm with you till the world shall end; All power is trusted to my hands, I can destroy, and I defend." He spake, and light shone round his head On a bright cloud to heav'n he rode; They to the farthest nations spread The grace of their ascended God.

No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, But saving, healing, here and now And touching ev'ry place and time. 3. Not throned afar, remotely high, Untouched, unmoved by human pains, But daily, in the midst of life, Our Savior in the God-head reigns. 4. In ev'ry insult, rift, and war, Where color, scorn, or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, where even hope has died. 5. Christ is alive! and comes to bring Good news to this and ev'ry age, Till earth and sky and ocean ring With joy, with justice, love, and praise. Used With Tune: TRURO

The Church of Christ in Every Age

Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss, Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time-- God's own sacrifice complete; It is finished, hear him cry, Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his lifeless clay; All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken him away? Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Christ an Example in Suffering
