Come, condescending spirit, come, And make our souls thy constant home!

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: God the Father Desire For 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 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 4 Thou on my head in every youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee; On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 5 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! 6 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! 7 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!

Life from the dead is in that word, And immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, The golden gates appear. 4 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Then, then I feel that He, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me, Though I perceive Him not. 6 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.
