Fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens; God, 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 ev’ry 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 then 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 and death, O God, abide with me. Scripture: Psalm 27:7-9 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE Text Sources: Remains of Henry Francis Lyte, 1850, alt.

Life and spirit from above. 'Tis immortality! 2 Here, in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near, At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 "Forever with the Lord!" Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat, before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" Used With Tune: [Forever with the Lord]
