Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Appears in 1,733 hymnals Topics: Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 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! 7 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! 8 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!

The King of heaven His table spreads

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The King of heaven His table spreads, And dainties crown the board. Not all the boasted joys of earth Could such delight afford. 2 Pardon and peace to dying men, And endless life are given; And the rich Blood that Jesus shed To raise the soul to heaven. 3 Ye hungry poor, who long have strayed In sin’s dark mazes, come; Come from the hedges and highways, And Grace shall find you room. 4 Thousands of souls, in glory now, Were fed and feasted here; And thousands more, still on the way, Around the board appear. 5 Yet are His house and heart so large, That thousands more may come; Nor could the wide assembled world O’erfill the spacious room. 6 All things are ready: enter in, Nor weak excuses frame. Come, take your places at the feast, And bless the Founder’s Name. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' U. BRINGET EHR

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling, All Thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, Thou art all compassion; Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart! 2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast; Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy precious love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in thee: Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

O mer end sterke Høvedsmand

Author: Kingo Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Sunday Lyrics: 1 O mer end sterke Høvedsmand, Du Troens store Kjæmpe, Som priselig ved Troen kan Al Modgangs Pile dæmpe! La'r i dit Hus et Kors sig se, Du kan ved troen bøde, Jesus møde, Og for din Tjenere Al Værk og Ve forsøde. 2 Du tykkes dig, dit Hus og Tag Uværdig til slig Hæder, At Jesus gjør sig din Umag, Og ind derunder træder. Du veed, at al Naturen staar Til Rede for hans Tale, Han befale! Da sker for vore Saar Og Synder sød Husvale! 3 Værkbrudne Svend, du ligger paa Din Sotteseng og Leie, Din Herre dig ei vil forsmaa, Som Verdens Børn de pleie, I Bøn og Tro han bær dig hen, Og ros hos Jesus finder, Og du vinder Din Førlighed igjen, Saa al din Værk forsvinder. 4 O Jesus, hvor mangfoldig er Den sygdom Sorg og Plage, som brat os ængster her og der I vore Levnets-Dage! Men du er al vor Hjælp og Trøst, Naar vi er fuld af Smerte, Og vort Hjerte I Taarer er udøst For Korsets haarde Snerte. 5 Hvor mangen Fattig og Forladt Og paa sit Leie ligger, Udtæret, mager, bleg og mat, Og Folke-Hjælp sig tigger; Men du, o søde Jesus, dig Hos dem da lader finde, Og oprinde Din Hjælp betimelig, Som de ved Troen vinde. 6 O søde Jesus, naar du vil Min Sygdoms Magt forøge, Giv da din Aand og Naade til, Jeg ene dig kan søge! Lad Sjælen være Høvedsmand, Der fuld af Tro kan være, Og mig bære Til dig, som vil og kan Min Pines Baand afskjære.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,014 hymnals Topics: Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh! eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.
