Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide 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, oh, abide with me. 2 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 3 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. 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; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

O day of rest and gladness

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 832 hymnals Topics: Rest Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing Holy, Holy, Holy, To the great God Triune, 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord, victorious, The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was giv'n. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view the promised land. 4 Today on weary nations The heav'nly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father and to Son; The church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Used With Tune: MENDEBRAS

"Yes, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What my portion here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan past." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay?
