Abide With Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,754 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns; Evening hymns 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 strength 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.

Day is Dying in the West
Author: Mary A. Lathbury, b. 1841 Appears in 591 hymnals Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Refrain First Line: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav'n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Thro' all the sky.
Chorus:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!
2 Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Chorus]
3 While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face
Our hearts ascend. [Chorus]
4 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Chorus] Used With Tune: CHAUTAUQUA
Day is Dying in the West
Softly now the light of day
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
Amen. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

Steal across the sky.

Calm and sweet repose,
With thy tend'rest blessing
May our eye-lids close.
3. Thro' the long night watches,
May thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed. Amen. Used With Tune: GUIDANCE

Lead, Kindly Light
Author: John H. Newman Appears in 1,283 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns First Line: Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on;
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on;
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path, but now,
Lead Thou me on;
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.
3 So long Thy pow'r hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Amen. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me
The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended
Author: Rev. John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended
