Morning Has Broken
Author: Eleanor Farjeon, 1881-1965 Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning Lyrics: 1 Morning has broken
like the first morning,
blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
Praise for the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing
fresh from the Word!
2 Sweet the rain’s new fall
sunlit from heaven,
like the first dewfall
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden,
sprung in completeness
where God’s feet pass.
3 Mine is the sunlight!
Mine is the morning
born of the one light
Eden saw play!
Praise with elation,
praise every morning,
God’s recreation
of the new day! Used With Tune: BUNESSAN

the darkness deepens; still with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, oh, 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 changes not, abide with me.
3 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.
Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
Abide with Me

night is drawing nigh,
shadows of the evening
steal across the sky.

settles in repose,
waiting for the quiet
of the winter snows.
3 Now as twilight gathers
let us pause and hear
all the slowing pulse-beats
of the waning year.
4 May the season's rhythms,
slow and strong and deep,
soothe the mind and spirit,
lulling us to sleep.
5 Sleep until the rising
of another spring
keeps the ancient promise
fall and winter bring. Used With Tune: WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN
