Lord, make me happy, be my Guest, And in my heart, O deign to rest. 2 Grant my request, O dearest Friend, For truly I the best intend; Thou knowest that Thou ever art A welcome Guest unto my heart. 3 The day is now far spent and gone, The shades of night come quickly on; Abide with me, Thou heav'nly Light, And do not leave me in this night. 4 Enlighten me that from the way That leads to heav'n I may not stray, That I may never be misled, Though night of sin is round me spread. 5 And when I on my death-bed lie, Help me that I in peace may die. Abide! I will not let Thee go. Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know. Used With Tune: ACH BLEIB BEI UNS

Lord Jesus Christ, with Us Abide

Author: Nikolaus Selnecker, 1532-92 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide, For round us falls the eventide, Nor let your Word, that heav'nly light, For us be ever veiled in night. 2 O God, how sin's dread works abound! Throughout the earth no rest is found, And falsehood's spirit wide has spread, And error boldly rears its head. 3 In these last days of sore distress Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness That pure we keep, till life is spent, Your holy Word and sacrament. 4 Lord Jesus, help, your Church uphold, For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold. Oh, prosper well your Word of grace, And spread its truth in ev'ry place. 5 Oh, keep us in your Word, we pray; The guile and rage of Satan stay! Oh, may your mercy never cease! Give concord, patience, courage, peace. 6 The cause is yours, the glory, too, So hear us, Lord, and keep us true. Your Word alone is our defense, The Church's glorious confidence. 7 Oh, grant that in your holy Word We here may live and die, dear Lord, And when our journey's ending here, Receive us into glory there.

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope, though all deride, will turn to gain this bitter loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away: it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave to face the darkness of the night; it takes the terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heav'n above.
