Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,753 hymnals Topics: Guidance & Care First Line: Abide with me: fast fall the even tide 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 ev'ry passing hour;What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and strength 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:Heav'ns morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

God of Our Fathers, Known of Old

Author: Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: God's Providential Care Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, known of old, Lord of our far-flung battle line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine: Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget! 2 The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart: Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget! 3 Far called our navies melt away. On dune and headland sinks the fire; Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget! 4 If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, Such boasting as the Gentiles use Or lesser breeds without the law: Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget! 5 For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard; All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding calls not Thee to guard: For frantic boast and foolish word, Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!

I Know Not What the Future Has

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: God's Care First Line: I know not what the future has Lyrics: 1 I know not what the future has Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death God’s mercy underlies. 2 And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruised reed he will not break, But strengthen and sustain. 3 No offering of my own I have, Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts he gave, And plead his love for love. 4 And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar; No harm from him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 5 I know not where his islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care.
