Evening of Life

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Communion of Saints With God First Line: Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day Lyrics: 1 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! 2 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; Come, Friend of sinners, and abide with me. 3 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. 4 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: Acts 7:59 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

As stars adorn the night-veiled sky

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Jesus Names and images for; Light Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky, arrayed like jewels rare and bright, so shine God's saints in every age to give the world new hop, new light. 2 The light saints bear is not their own but shines through them as gift and sign: to show how God can use and bless frail human means for ends divine. Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ, the Morning Star that crowns the night, whose rising heralds God's new day, the promised dawn of life and light. 4 That light is ours to claim and share, not merely praise or gaze upon: for all who are baptized become light-bearers through the Risen One. 5 The saints inspire and challenge us our holy calling to embrace: to bear Christ's light in our own day, to be the vessels of God's grace.
