Abide with me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,684 hymnals First Line: Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide (Reste avec moi! C'est l'heure le jour baisse) 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, 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 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, oh 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. --- FRENCH - 1 Reste avec moi! C'est l'heure où le jour baisse; l'ombre grandit, Seigneur, attarde-toi! Tous les appuis manquent à ma faiblesse; force du faible, O Christ, reste avec moi! 2 Le flot des jours rapidement s'écoule leur gloire est vaine et leur bonheur déçoit; tout change et meurt, tout chancelle et s'écroule; toi qui ne changes point, reste avec moi! 3 J'ose implorer plus qu'un regard qui passe; viens, comme à tes disciples, autrefois, plein de douceur, de tendresse et de grâce, et pour toujours, Seigneur, reste avec moi! 4 Heure après heure, il me faut ta présence, le tentateur ne redoute que toi. Qui donc prendrait contre lui ma défense? Dans l'ombre ou la clarté, reste avec moi!

When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Appears in 1,002 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, my rising soul surveys, transported with the view, I'm lost in wonder, love and praise. 2 Oh how shall words with equal warmth the gratitude declare that glows within my enraptured heart? But thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts my daily thanks employ, nor is the least a cheerful heart that tastes these gifts with joy. 4 Through every season of my life thy goodness I'll pursue, and after death, in distant worlds, the glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night divide thy works no more, my ever-grateful heart, O Lord, thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity to thee a joyful song I'll raise, for oh! eternity's too short to utter all thy praise.

You come with thrill of life to chase hence winter's breath, to hush to peace the strife of sin that ends in death. 2 You come like dawning day, with flaming truth and love, to chase all glooms away, to brace our wills to prove how wise, how good to choose the truth and its brave fight; to prize it, win or lose, and live on God's delight. 3 You come like songs at morn that fill the earth with joy, till we in Christ newborn new strength in praise employ. You come to rouse the heart from drifting to despair, through high hope to impart life with an ampler air. 4 You breathe, and there is health; you move, and there is power; you whisper, there is wealth of love, your richest dower. Your presence is to us like summer in the soul; your joy shines forth, and then life blossoms to its goal. Topics: God the Holy Spirit; Healing / Health; Hope; Joy; Love; Truth Used With Tune: DENBY
