Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the morning and evening 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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Meter: 12.10.12.10 Appears in 151 hymnals Topics: Our Response to God in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; bow down before him, His glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name! 2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness; high on his heart he will bear it for thee, comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, guiding thy steps as may best for thee be. 3 Fear not to enter his courts, in the slenderness of the poor wealth thou canst reckon as thine; truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness, these are the offerings to lay on His shrine. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness, he will accept for the Name that is dear, mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness, trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear. 5 Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; bow down before him, His glory proclaim; gold of obedience and incense of lowliness bring, and adore him; the Lord is his Name! Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:29 Used With Tune: MOREDUN

Break not the circle of enabling love

Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the worship of God's house Lyrics: 1 Break not the circle of enabling love where people grow, forgiven and forgiving; break not that circle - make it wider still, till it includes, embraces all the living. 2 Come, wonder at this love that comes to life, where words of freedom are with humour spoken and people keep no score of wrong and guilt, but will that human bonds remain unbroken. 3 Sing high! Give thanks for all who came and come to teach the world the craft of hopeful craving for peace and wholeness that will fill the earth, for faith that stirs us to creative living. 4 Join then the movement of the love that frees, till people of whatever race or nation will truly be themselves, stand on their feet, see eye to eye with laughter and elation. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:9-10 Used With Tune: ROBERT
