Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #101 (1993) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Change First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; still with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, oh, 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 changes not, abide with me.
3 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.

no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding,
for nothing changes here:

my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?

and nothing can I lack:
his wisdom ever waketh,
his sight is never dim,
he knows the way he taketh,
and I will walk with him.

which yet I have not seen;

where darkest clouds have been;

my path to life is free;
my Saviour has my treasure,
and he will walk with me. Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:8 Languages: English Tune Title: PENLAN

When God revealed his gracious name
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #708 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Change Effected by Grace Lyrics: 1 When God revealed his gracious name,
And changed my mournful state,
My raptures seemed a pleasing dream,
The grace appeared so great.

And did thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.
3 The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night;
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.
4 Let those who sow in sadness wait
Till the fair harvest come:
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home. Scripture: Psalm 126

in trouble and in joy,
the praises of my God shall still
my heart and tongue employ.

when in distress to him I called,
he to my rescue came.

the dwellings of the just;
deliverance he affords to all
who on his succour trust.
4 O make but trial of his love,
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they,
who in his truth confide!
5 Fear him, ye saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make you his service your delight,
your wants shall be his care.

the God whom we adore,
be glory, as it was, is now,
and shall be evermore. Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English Tune Title: WILTSHIRE

Christ Leads!
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #28 (2013) Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 Christ leads!
From the shore to the hills,
from the hills to the plain,
Christ leads.
In the chill of despair
and the clamor of change
Christ Jesus is our guide.
God be praised!
2 Christ calls!
From the sorrows of war
and the doorways of pain,
Christ calls.
In the silence of fear
and the anger of need
Christ Jesus speaks today.
God be praised!
3 Christ waits!
Crucified by the powers,
undefeated, alive.
Christ waits.
To the worship of force
and the praise of revenge
Christ Jesus teaches peace.
God be praised!
4 Christ sings!
In a people reborn,
reconciling, renamed,
Christ sings.
In communion feast
and community praise
Christ Jesus makes us one.
God be praised!
5 Christ comes!
In the word on the street
and the word that forgives,
Christ comes.
At the end of the day,
at the ultimate end,
Christ Jesus lives and leads.
God be praised!

God of Dawn, Each Day's Renewal
Author: Marjorie Dobson, 1940- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #51 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Change Lyrics: 1 God of dawn, each day's renewal
brings the world into your light
as your sun defeats the shadows,
drives away the darkest night.
We would greet this new beginning
as your call to start again;
lead us on with hope and courage,
make your will and purpose plain.
2 Christ, you walked the world as we do,
knew its human pain and loss
as your love broke through the barriers,
by your death upon the cross.
We still speak your gospel message,
though two thousand years have gone;
help us now translate its meaning
in this present world of wrong.
3 Holy Spirit, inspiration,
light and truth and root of prayer,
as your challenge moves us forward
taking us we know not where,
we will follow your direction,
though the way may not be clear.
Shape us, change us, recreate us,
so the future holds no fear.
4 Praise to God, who spoke creation,
giving life to time and space.
Praise to Christ, whose living presence
showed the world your human face.
Praise the Spirit, daily witness
to your ever-loving way.
Take us now and re-awake us,
challenge us to use this day. Scripture: John 16:12-15 Languages: English Tune Title: JOYFUL SINGING
