Abide with Me: Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnbook #64 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Evening; God Eternity and Power; God Protection; Life Everlasting, The; Worship Evening 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. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 102:26-27 Tune Title: EVENTIDE

God Loves All the Righteous

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #73 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Eternal Life First Line: God loves all the righteous, his goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loves all the righteous; his goodness is sure. He always remembers the good and the pure. Yet once my faith faltered; I envied the proud. In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked all prosper, and firm is their health; they suffer no pangs as they gather their wealth. They never are troubled with sickness or pain, but boast to all others of ill-gotten gain. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, with wealth more abundant than heart could expect, they scoff at the helpless, make fun of the poor; with curses they charge against heaven's own door. 4 They question God's knowledge and boldly defy the might and the justice of God the Most High. The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, while I, daily chastened, see troubles increase. 5 Forgetting God's children, I cried out in pain that clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. But then in God's temple my doubts were dispelled; the end of their journey I clearly beheld. 6 In doubt and temptation, I rest, LORD, in you; my hand is in your hand, whatever I do. You always are with me; you guide with your word, and soon into glory will take me, O LORD. 7 Whom have I, O Savior, in heaven but you? On earth for none other I long but for you. My flesh and my heart may be weakened and sore, but God is the strength of my heart evermore. 8 All those who forsake you will perish and die, but, near to my Savior, most blessed am I. I make you my refuge, my LORD and my God; your grace and your glory I publish abroad. Scripture: Psalm 73 Languages: English Tune Title: HIDING IN THEE

Like Yesterday's departed Light, Or the last Watch of ending Night.] Pause. 5 Death, like an overflowing Stream, Sweeps us away; our Life's a Dream; An empty Tale; a Morning Flow'r, Cut down and wither'd in an Hour. 6 [Our Age to seventy Years is set; How short the Term! How frail the State! And if to Eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan, than live. 7 But O! how oft thy Wrath appears, And cuts off our expected Years! Thy Wrath awakes our humble Dread: We fear that Pow'r that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is Man; And kindly lengthen out our Span, 'Till a wise Care of Piety Fit us to die, and dwell with Thee.

Our Life, how poor a Trifle 'tis, That scarce deserves the Name. 2 Alas, the brittle Clay That built our Body first! And every Month and every Day 'Tis mould'ring back to Dust. 3 Our Moments fly apace, Nor will our Minutes stay; Just like a Flood, our hasty Days Are sweeping us away. 4 Well, if our Days must fly, We'll keep their End in Sight, We'll spend them all in Wisdom's Way, And let them speed their Flight. 5 They'll waft us sooner o'er This Life's tempestuous Sea: Soon we shall reach the peaceful Shore Of blest Eternity.
