Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,677 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:7-9 First Line: Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide. The darkness deepens; God, 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? 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 then thy cross before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee. In life and death, O God, abide with me.

All praise to our redeeming Lord

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, who joins us by his grace, and bids us, each to each restored, together seek his face. 2 He bids us build each other up; and gathered into one, to our high calling’s glorious hope, we hand in hand go on. 3 The gift which he on one bestows we all delight to prove; the grace through every vessel flows, in purest streams of love. 4 Even now we think and speak the same, and cordially agree; concentered all, through Jesus’ name, in perfect harmony. 5 We all partake the joy of one, the common peace we feel, a peace to sensual minds unknown, a joy unspeakable. 6 And if our fellowship below in Jesus be so sweet, What height of rapture shall we know When round his throne we meet.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 First Line: The LORD my light and SAFETY is Lyrics: 1 The LORD my light and SAFETY is: who shall make me dismay'd? The LORD is of my life the strength: who shall make me afraid? 2 For when my spiteful enemies me to devour drew near; To stumble and fall down at once, by Him they forced were. 3 Against me tho' an host encamp, my heart undaunted is: If war against me should arise, I am secure in this. 4 One thing I asked of the LORD, which still I will request; That in the LORD's house all my days I happily may rest; That I the beauty of the LORD may view, and there admire; And in his holy temple may continually enquire. 5 For He in his pavilion will me hide in evil days; In secret of his tent me hide, And on a rock me raise: 6 Moreover at this time my head on high shall lifted be, Above my num'rous enemies, who round encompass me. Therefore a sacrifice of joy, and shouting I will bring Into his tent; and sing aloud, praise to JEHOVAH sing. [2 Part] 7 While with my earnest voice I cry, me O JEHOVAH hear; O have Thou mercy upon me, and to me give thine ear. 8 When Thou to seek thy blessed face, me kindly dost advise; Thy blessed face, LORD, I will seek," my grateful heart replies. 9 O hide not Thou thy countenance, away from me therefore; Thy servant put thou not away in thy displeasure sore. My helper Thou hast ever been, do not from me depart; Nor me forsake, for Thou the God of my salvation art. 10 My father and my mother both, tho' they from me remove; Yet then the LORD will take me up, and a kind father prove. 11 JEHOVAH teach Thou me thy way, and be a guide to me, In righteous paths, because of those who watch my faults to see. 12 O give me not up to their will, who are mine enemies: Against me rise false witnesses, who breath out cruelties. 13 I should have fainted, had not I believ'd that I should see, Ev'n in the land of living ones the LORD's benignity. 14 Wait on the LORD, couragious be; and He will strength afford To thy faint heart: I say again, wait still upon the LORD.

Approach, My Soul, the Mercy Seat

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27:5 Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By war without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my shield and hiding place, That, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him Thou hast died! 5 O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead Thy gracious name.
