God Is Not Far
Author: Thomas C. Clark, b. 1877 Meter: 10.10.10.10.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:7 First Line: God is not far from any one of us Lyrics: 1 God is not far from any one of us:
The wild flower by the wayside speaks His love;
Each blithesome bird bears tidings from above;
Sunshine and shower His tender mercies prove,
And men know not His voice!
2 God is not far from any one of us:
He speaks to us in every glad sunrise;
His glory floods us from the noonday skies;
The stars declare His love when daylight dies,
And men know not His voice!
3 God is not far from any one of us:
He watches o'er his children day and night;
On every darkened soul He sheds His light;
Each burdened heart He cheers, and lends His might
To all who know His voice.
Amen. Topics: God God the Loving Father Used With Tune: FERREE

Savior, Again to Your Dear Name We Raise
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 851 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Lyrics: 1 Savior, again to your dear name we raise
with one accord our parting hymn of praise.
We give you thanks before our worship cease,
and now departing, wait your word of peace.
2 Grant us your peace upon our homeward way;
with you began, with you shall end the day.
Guard now the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
that in this house have called upon your name.
3 Grant us your peace, Lord, through the coming night;
turn all our darkness to your perfect light.
Then, while we sleep, our hope and strength renew,
for dark and light are both alike to you.
4 Grant us your peace throughout our earthly life:
comfort in sorrow, courage in the strife.
Then, when your voice shall make our conflict cease,
call us, O Lord, to your eternal peace.

fill my poor heart with thy great love divine.
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride;

send a revival--start the work in me.
Thy Word declares thou wilt supply our need;
for blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.

may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,673 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 139:7-12 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 stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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. Topics: Comfort; Evening; Funeral; Grace; Living and Dying in Christ Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
