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 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, 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 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. Scripture: Job 14:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Servant of God, Well Done

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #470 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal First Line: Servant of God, well done! Lyrics: 1 "Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy master’s joy." 2 The voice at midnight came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. 4 Bent on such glorious toils, The world to him was loss, Yet all his trophies, all his spoils, He hung upon the cross. 5 At midnight came the cry, "To meet thy God prepare!" He woke and caught his Captain's eye, Then strong in faith and prayer. 6 His spirit with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent at sunrise on the ground, A darkened ruin lay. 7 The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 8 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Scripture: Matthew 25:34 Languages: English Tune Title: DOVER
