Again Thy glorious sun doth rise

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #130 (1903) Topics: The Christian Graces 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, 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinner, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 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! 7 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! 8 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!

When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender To heaven, my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me; How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness Yon world of shadowy naught.

Of reason's lamp how faint the ray! 4 Follies and crimes, a countless sum, Are crowded in life's little span: How ill, alas, does pride become That erring, guilty creature, man! 5 God of my life! Father divine! Give me a meek and lowly mind; In modest worth O let me shine, And peace in humble virtue find. Languages: English
