A brighter dawn is breaking

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: NEH1985 #102 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 A brighter dawn is breaking, And earth with praise is waking; For thou, O King most highest, The power of death defiest; 2 And thou hast come victorious, With risen Body glorious, Who now for ever livest, And life abundant givest. 3 O free the world from blindness, And fill the world with kindness, Give sinners resurrection, Bring striving to perfection; 4 In sickness give us healing, In doubt thy clear revealing, That praise to thee be given In earth as in thy heaven.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: NEH1985 #331 (1986) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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!

According to thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: NEH1985 #270 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes And rest on Calvary O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee: 5 Remember thee, and all thy pains, And all thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesu, hath undone thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesu, was thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesu, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, Think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.
