Abide with Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #240 (1976) Topics: Evening hymns 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. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with Me
Now the Day is Over
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: Concordia #250 (1918) Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May our eyelids close.
3 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
4 Comfort ev'ry suff'rer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
5 Through the long night-watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching 'round my bed.
6 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure, and fresh, and sinless
In Thy holy eyes. Languages: English Tune Title: MERRIAL
Now the Day is Over
Day is Dying in the West
Author: Mary A. Lathbury, b. 1841 Hymnal: Concordia #252 (1918) Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Evening Refrain First Line: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts! Lyrics: 1 Day is dying in the west;
Heav'n is touching earth with rest;
Wait and worship while the night
Sets her evening lamps alight
Thro' all the sky.
Chorus:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee!
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord most high!
2 Lord of life, beneath the dome
Of the universe, Thy home,
Gather us who seek Thy face
To the fold of Thy embrace,
For Thou art nigh. [Chorus]
3 While the deep'ning shadows fall,
Heart of Love, enfolding all,
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the stars that veil Thy face
Our hearts ascend. [Chorus]
4 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: CHAUTAUQUA
Day is Dying in the West
Another fleeting day is gone
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #630 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: An Evening Hymn Lyrics: 1 Another fleeting day is gone,
Slow o'er the west the shadows rise;
Swift the soft stealing hours have flown,
And night's dark mantle veils the skies.
2 Another fleeting day is gone,
Swept from the records of the year;
And still with each successive sun,
Life's fading visions disappear.
3 Another fleeting day is gone,
To tell thy secrets, O my soul;
Faithful before th'eternal throne
Thy slightest folly 'twill enrol.
4 Another fleeting day is gone,
To join the fugitives before:
And I, when life's employ is done,
shall sleep, to wake in time no more.
5 Another fleeting day is gone,
And soon a fairer day shall rise;
A day, whose never-setting sun,
Shall pour his light o'er cloudless skies.
6 Another fleeting day is gone,
In solemn silence rest, my soul;
Bend--bend before his awful throne,
Who bids the morn and evening roll! Scripture: Job 8:9
Another fleeting day is gone
Father, thy paternal care
Author: Bowring Hymnal: Hymns for Christian Devotion #943 (1871) Topics: Morning and Evening Hymn Languages: English
Father, thy paternal care
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Author: Rev. Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #33 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Evening hymns 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.
Amen. Tune Title: EVENTIDE (MONK)
Abide with me: fast falls the eventide
Softly now the light of day
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Hymnal: The Hymnal #34 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
Amen. Tune Title: SEYMOUR

Now the Day is Over
Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear
Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: The Hymnal #37 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep tonight,
Like infants' slumbers, pure and light.
5 Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take,
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.
Amen. Tune Title: HURSLEY
Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear
The sun declines; o'er land and sea
Author: Robert Walmsley Hymnal: The Hymnal #40 (1950) Meter: 8.4.8.4 D Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 The sun declines; o’er land and sea
Creeps on the night;
The twinkling stars come one by one
To shed their light;
With Thee there is no darkness, Lord;
With us abide,
And ’neath Thy wings we rest secure
This eventide.
2 Forgive the wrong this day we’ve done,
Or thought, or said;
Each moment with its good or ill
To Thee has fled;
O Father, in Thy mercy great
Will we confide;
Thy benediction now bestow
This eventide.
Amen. Tune Title: VINCENT
The sun declines; o'er land and sea
