Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #33 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Evening hymns 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, O 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. Amen. Tune Title: EVENTIDE (MONK)

Amen. Tune Title: SEYMOUR

Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear

Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: The Hymnal #37 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight, Like infants' slumbers, pure and light. 5 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen. Tune Title: HURSLEY

From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us The livelong day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie; When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou, our God, forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With Thee on high.

O Light of life, O Saviour dear

Author: Francis T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Hymnal #46 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 O Light of life, O Saviour dear, Before we sleep bow down Thine ear: Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee. 2 Oft from Thy royal road we part, Lost in the mazes of the heart: Our lamps put out, our course forgot, We seek for God, and find Him not. 3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight! What dawning risen upon the night! Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we Find guide and path and all in Thee. 4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear, Abide with us, more nearly near; Till on Thy face we lift our eyes, The Sun of God's own Paradise. Amen. Tune Title: ABENDS

Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather

Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #176 (1732) Topics: Evening Hymn Lyrics: I. Rouse thy self, my Soul, and gather All thy Senses from abroad, To adore thy Heav'nly Father, And the Goodness of thy God, For preserving Thee this Day, Chasing Satan's Host away, That their Malice and Delusion Cou'd not put Thee to Confusion. II. Blessed be thy gracious Favour, Father of Eternity! That thou'st helpt me in my Labour, And my great Necessity; That in all my Care and Grief Thou hast sent me sure Relief, And remov'd, on all Occasion, What might frustrate my Salvation. III. None of all the skill'd in Numbers, Nor the Sons of Eloquence Can express or count the Wonders Of thy gracious providence. O, thy Mercies are too great For us Mortals to repeat. Let us then adore in Spirit What's above our Sense and Merit. IV. Now this tiresome Day is finish'd, Gloomy Night draws on apace; Chearful Day Light is diminish'd, And the sun has hid his Face. Lord, endow me with thy Love, That the Instances I prove Of thy Care and thy Protection work in me a pure Subjection. V. Pardon, Lord, each sad Transgression, Whether open or unknown, With the Weight of whose Oppression I all Night in secret moan; So that Satan's fiery Dart Often pierces through my Heart, And disturbs the blest Intention Of thy Grace and thy Redemption. VI. Tho' I've stray'd and thee denied; As I willingly return, For his Sake who for me died, Let thy Wrath no longer burn; I confess the Guilt of Sin; But thy Grace can make me clean, Which exceeds, beyond Expression, All the Poison of Transgression. VII. Author of illumination, Light of Light, eternal Word, Soul and Body's Preservation I commit to thee, O Lord: My Redeemer, dwell in me, That I sleep and wake with Thee, And enjoy thy Consolation In the Night of Perturbation. VIII. Guard me from the Snares of Satan, And the Pow'r of Sin and Hell; Which raise Dreams I never thought on, And abominate to tell. Let me never lose the Sight Of thy good and gracious Light. Having thee, I can be quiet 'Midst the Furies-Storm and Riot. IX. When I close mine Eyes to slumber, And my Senses fall asleep, Let my Heart, awake, the Number Of thy mercies tell and keep. Fill me with thy sacred Love, That I dream of what's above, And keep close to Thee my Saviour Even in my Nights Behaviour. X. Grant, that under thy Protection, I enjoy a quiet Rest; Guard me from Night-Sin's Infection; Number me among the Blest; Soul and Body, Heart and Mind Keep from harm of ev'ry Kind Friends and Foes and each Relation Visit with thy new Creation. XI. Let no frightful Rumour wake me From within or from abroad; Let no Sickness overtake me; Lord, be thou my sure Abode. Fire and Water, pestilence, Death that's sudden off me fence, Lest I dye in my Transgression, And fall short of thy Possession. XII. Father, hear the Supplication Of thy poor unworthy Child. JESU! through thy Meditation, Make me truly reconcil'd. Holy Ghost, of equal Praise, I depend upon thy Grace. Sacred Three! be pleas'd to say then: Even so it shall be. AMEN!
