Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: Festivals 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. Amen. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Advance! lift up your hearts! The sky above doth lighten; Most dark around the shadows fall, Ere rays of dawn may brighten: The night is dark and chill, The dawn is on the hill, We reek not of the night, 'Twill soon be warm and bright; The Lord of Hosts is with us. 5 Advance! Advance! ah, dearest Lord, 'Tis Thou, 'tis Thou dost lead us; 'Tis Thou dost point the narrow way, 'Tis Thou dost tend, dost feed us; No power, no might have we, Our strength is all of Thee; At morn, at eventide, Our aid, our hope, our guide. Great Lord of Hosts be with us. Amen. Used With Tune: S. EDWARD, CONFESSOR

Alas! and Did my Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 2,434 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die, Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree. 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut His glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign-- Increase my courage, Lord-- I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. Amen. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON
