Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,757 hymnals Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Death and Eternal Life First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide 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, 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: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow; let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,444 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand drest in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timerous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 723 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 O Love that will 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 follows all my way, I yield my flick’ring 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: Isaiah 65:17-25 Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET Text Sources: Life and Work . . ., 1883

Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer Home. 3 My Father's House on high, Home of my soul! how near, At times to faith's far-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word, E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!"
