Lord Jesus Christ, Abide with Us
Appears in 1 hymnal Text Sources: Paraphrased by St. Joseph's Abbey
Lord Jesus Christ, Abide with Us
Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,
For round us falls the eventide;
Nor let Thy word, that heavenly light,
For us be ever veiled in night.
2 While sin and death around we see,
O grant that we may constant be;
And pure retain, till life is spent,
Thy precious word and sacrament.
3 Dear Savior, help, Thy Church uphold;
For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold;
Indue Tyy word with power and grace
And spread its truth in every place.
4 Yes, leave us but Thy word, we pray;
The fatal wiles of Satan stay;
O smile upon Thy Church; give grace,
Give courage, patience, love, and peace.
5 O God! how sin's dread works abound,
Throughout the earth no rest is found;
And wide has falsehood's spirit spread,
And error boldly rears its head.
6 And ever is there something new
Devised to change Thy doctrine true;
Lord Jesus! as Thou still dost reign,
Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain;
7 And as the cause and glory, Lord,
Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford
Us help and strength and constancy,
And keep us ever true to Thee.
8 Thy word shall fortify us hence,
It is Thy Church's sure defense;
O let us in its power confide,
That we may seek no other guide.
9 Here on Thy Word in faith we lean
There Thou shalt be forever seen;
And when our journey endeth here,
Receive us, Lord, in glory there.
