Author: Harriet B. Stowe, 1812-1896 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #195 (2011) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: Abide in me, O Lord, and I in Thee Lyrics: 1 Abide in me, O Lord, and I in Thee;
From this good hour, O leave me never more;
Then shall the discord cease, the wounded healed,
The lifelong bleeding of the soul be o’er.
2 Abide in me; o’ershadow by Thy love
Each half-formed purpose and dark thought of sin;
Quench, ere it rise, each selfish, low desire,
And keep my soul as Thine, calm and divine.
3 Abide in me; there have been moments blest
When I have heard Thy voice and felt Thy power;
Then evil lost its grasp, and passion hushed,
Owned the divine enchantment of the hour.
4 These were but seasons, beautiful and rare;
Abide in me and they shall ever be;
Fulfill at once Thy precept and my prayer;
Come, and abide in me, and I in Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Consecration; Holy Spirit Scripture: Luke 24:29 Languages: English Tune Title: MORECAMBE
