Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,732 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion 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 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? Though cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

God of the morning, at thy voice

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 God of the morning, at thy voice The cheerful sun makes haste to rise, And like a giant doth rejoice To run his journey through the skies. 2 O, like the sun may I fulfill The appointed duties of the day; With ready mind and active will, March on, and keep my heavenly way. 3 Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, Enlightening our beclouded eyes; Thy threatenings just, thy promise sure; Thy gospel makes the simple wise. 4 Give me thy counsels for my guide, And then receive me to thy bliss; All my desires and hopes beside Are faint and cold compared with this.

Softly fades the twilight ray

Author: Samuel F. Smith Appears in 214 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath-day, Gently as life's setting sun When the Christian's course is run. 2 Night her solemn mantle spreads O'er the earth as daylight fades, All things tell of calm repose At the holy Sabbath's close. 3 Peace is on the world abroad; 'Tis the holy peace of God, Symbol of the peace within When the spirit rests from sin. 4 Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. 5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be Days of joy and peace in thee, Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close. Used With Tune: MERCY

While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Author: John Newton Appears in 591 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But now little none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find, As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind, Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view; Bless thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love, And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with him above. Used With Tune: BENEVENTO

O Christ, with each returning morn

Author: Anon. Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Lyrics: 1 O Christ, with each returning morn Thine image to our hearts be borne; And may we ever clearly see Our dearest treasure, Lord, in thee! 2 All hallowed be our walk this day; May meekness form our morning ray, And faithful love our noontide light, And hope our sunset, calm and bright. 3 May grace each idle thought control, And sanctify each wayward soul; May guile depart, and malice cease, And all within be joy and peace.
