Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,722 hymnals Topics: Afflictions 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 Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with you at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your Word 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. Scripture: Psalm 102:26-27 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow; For I will be with thee thy trials to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "E'en down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne. 6 "The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose, I will not--I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Afflicted supported; Support for the afflicted and tempted; Afflicted supported; Support for the afflicted and tempted First Line: O God, my refuge, hear my cries Lyrics: 1 O God, my refuge, hear my cries, Behold my flowing tears, For earth and hell my hurt devise, And triumph in my fears. 2 Their rage is level'd at my life, My soul with guilt they load, And fill my thoughts with inward strife, To shake my hope in God. 3 With inward pains my heart-strings wound, I groan with every breath; Horror and fear beset me round Amongst the shades of death. 4 Oh were I like a feather'd dove, And innocence had wings, I'd fly, and make a long remove From all these restless things. 5 Let me to some wild desert go, And find a peaceful home, Where storms of malice never blow, Temptations never come. 7 Vain hopes, and vain inventions all To 'scape the rage of hell! The mighty God, on whom I call, Can save me here as well. Pause. 7 By morning light I'll seek his face, At noon repeat my cry, The night shall hear me ask his grace, Nor will he long deny. 8 God shall preserve my soul from fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten thousand angels must appear If he command their aid. 9 I cast my burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My courage rests upon his word, That saints shall never fall. 10 My highest hopes shall not be vain, My lips shall spread his praise; While cruel and deceitful men, Scarce live out half their days. Scripture: Psalm 55:22

Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Afflicted moderated; Grace tried by afflictions First Line: Firm and unmov'd are they Lyrics: 1 Firm and unmov'd are they That rest their Souls on GOD; Firm as the Mount where David dwelt, Or where the Ark abode. 2 As Mountains stood to guard The City's sacred Ground, So GOD, and his Almighty Love Embrace his Saints around. 3 What though the Father's Rod Drop a chastising Stroke, Yet, lest it wound their Souls too deep, Its Fury shall be broke. 4 Deal gently, Lord, with those Whose Faith and pious Fear, Whose Hope, and Love, and ev'ry grace, Proclaim their Hearts sincere. 5 Nor shall the Tyrant's Rage Too long oppress the Saint; The GOD of Isr'el will support His Children, lest they faint. 6 But if our slavish Fear Will chuse the Road to Hell, We must expect our Portion there, Where bolder Sinners dwell. Scripture: Psalm 125
