Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,675 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:24 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 pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay 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: heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 3:16-17 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness, for dull content with warmth and sheltered care, for songs of praise for worldly wealthiness, while of your richer gifts we're unaware: 2 Teach us to thank you, Lord, for love and grace, for life and vision, for a purpose clear, for Christ, your Son, and for each human face that shows your message ever new and near. 3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise, for words that speak at variance with deeds; forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways, unmindful of a broken brother's needs: 4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine, that gives as Christ gave, never counting cost, that knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine," assured that only what's withheld is lost. 5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast, for joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul, for walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast and blur our vision of the Kingdom goal: 6 Open our eyes to see your love's intent, to know with minds and hearts its depth and height; let thankful days in loving labor spent reflect the truly Christlike life and light.
