Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Appears in 1,732 hymnals Topics: Worship of God 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 ev'ry passing hour - What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Thru cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 4 Hold Thou Thy word before my closing eyes, Shine thru the gloom,and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee - In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Fears in the worship of God; Fears in the worship of God First Line: To thee, o Lord, I raise my cries Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, I raise my cries; My fervent prayer in mercy hear; For ruin waits my trembling soul, If thou refuse a gracious ear. 2 When suppliant tow'rd thy holy hill, I left my mournful hands to pray, Afford thy grace, nor drive me still, With impious hypocrites away. 3 To sons of falehood, that despise The works and wonders of thy reign, Thy vengeance give the due reward, And sinks their souls to endless pain. 4 But, ever blessed by the Lord, Whose mercy hears my mournful voice, My heart, that trusted in his word, In his salvation shall rejoice. 5 Let every saint, in sore distress, By faith approach his Saviour God; Then grant, O Lord, thy pardoning grace, And feed thy church with heavenly food.
