Abide With Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,753 hymnals Topics: Darkness; Powers of Darkness 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, 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. Scripture: Job 14:1 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide With Me

The holy spirit addressed under darkness
Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Spirit of God addressed in Darkness; Spirit of God Addressed under darkness First Line: Descend, holy spirit the dove Lyrics: 1 Descend, holy spirit the dove,
And visit a sorrowful breast,
My burden of guild to remove,
And bring me assurance and rest:
Thou only hast pow'r to relieve
A sinner o'erwhelm'd with his load,
The sense of election to give,
And sprinkle his heart with the blood.
2 With me, if of old thou hast strove,
And kindly withheld me from sin;
Resolv'd by the force of thy love,
My worthless affections to win;
The work of thy mercy revive,
Invincible mercy exert,
And keep my weak graces alive,
And set up thy rest in my heart.
3 If when I have put thee to grief,
And madly to folly return'd,
Thy goodness hath been my relief,
And lifted me up as I mourn'd;
Most pitiful spirit of grace,
Relieve me again, and restore,
MY spirit in holiness raise,
To fall and to grieve thee no more.
4 If now I lament after God,
And pant for a drop of his love,
If Jesus, who pour'd out his blood,
Obtain me a mansion above;
Come, heavenly comforter come,
Sweet witness of mercy divine!
And make me thy permanent home,
And seal me eternally thine.
The holy spirit addressed under darkness
Wisdom from on High Is Dawning
Author: Adam Michael Wood Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Darkness and Light Lyrics: 1 Wisdom from on high is dawning.
Even now a golden ray
shines into a world of shadows
from the realms of endless day.
Hidden womb who birthed the heavens
in the womb now hides away.
2 In her heart the joy of heaven,
in her hands the poor of earth,
on her back all human sorrow,
in her laugh all human mirth.
God most human, God most holy,
God incarnate comes to birth.
3 All creation stands in wonder
as her glory fills the sky.
Down in adoration falling,
we her children raise the cry:
She who is and was and evermore shall be,
alleluia! God most high! Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Used With Tune: PICARDY

In Thee Is Gladness
Author: Johann Lindemann ; Catherine Winkworkth Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness Lyrics: 1 In thee is gladness
amid all sadness,
Jesus, daystar of my heart!
By thee are given
the gifts of heaven,
thou the true Redeemer art!
Our souls thou wakest;
our bonds thou breakest.
Who trusts thee surely
has built securely
and stands forever:
Alleluia!
Our hearts are longing
to see thy dawning.
Living or dying,
in thee abiding,
naught can us sever:
Alleluia!
2 Jesus is ours!
We fear no powers,
not of earth or sin or death.
He sees and blesses
in worst distresses;
he can change them with a breath.
Wherefore the story—
tell of his glory
with hearts and voices;
all heaven rejoices
in him forever:
Alleluia!
We shout for gladness,
triumph o'er sadness,
love him and praise him,
and still shall raise him
glad hymns forever:
Alleluia!
