Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,767 hymnals Topics: Death and Life to Come 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, 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 Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your 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, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Exodus 33:14-15 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Eterne ĉe l' Sinjoro

Author: James Montgomery; J. Gourlay Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: "Eterne ĉe l' Sinjor'! Lyrics: 1. "Eterne ĉe l' Sinjor'!" Amen'! ĉar tiu vort' promeson donas al la kor' pri vivo post la mort'. Dum tera pilgrimad' fremdule vagas mi: sed proksimiĝas ĉiam pli al hejmo kaj al Di'. 2. Ho hejmo de l' anim'! Oftege, en vizi', la pordojn viajn en proksim' mi vidas antaŭ mi. Al tiu hel-vidaĵ' sopiras mia kor': Jerusalemo, heredaĵ' de lumo kaj de glor'. 3. De temp' al tempo ĝin kaŝadas nubegar', kaj, kiel la kolombojn, min timigas venta mar'. Sed pasas la malhel'; alvenas bel-veter'; profetas arko sur ĉiel' pri paco kaj esper'. 4. Kaj kiam venos fin', en tago kiu ajn, mortante, morton venkos mi, per nova vivo-gajn'. En releviĝa hor' eksonos venko-kri': Denove, "Ĉiam ĉe l' Sinjor'!" "Amen'!" respondos mi.
