How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

Tho' the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their heaviest storms assail us; Jesus will not fail us. 3 Banished is our sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Tho' the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er we here must bear, Still is Thee lies purest pleasure - Jesus, priceless treasure! Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

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? Through 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. 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: Psalm 23:4 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
