O love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 696 hymnals Topics: Sorrow and Lament Lyrics: 1 O love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-29 Used With Tune: ST MARGARET

Your pow'r, and Yours alone,
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone. [Refrain]

Whereby Your grace to claim–
I'll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv'ry's Lamb. [Refrain]

I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save,"
My lips shall still repeat. [Refrain]

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,719 hymnals Topics: Lament 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?
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: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

with God at my right hand?

my soul, with courage wait;

when faint and desolate.

God's love thy joy increase;
mercy thy days shall lengthen;
the Lord will give thee peace. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN
