Abide with Me: Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,754 hymnals 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, Lord, 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 the 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, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen. Topics: Evening hymns; Fellowship with God; God the Father Faithfulness Scripture: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

And Is It So?

Author: John N. Darby Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: And is it so--I shall be like Thy Son? Lyrics: 1. And is it so—I shall be like Thy Son? Is this the grace which He for me has won? Father of glory (thought beyond all thought!)— In glory, to His own blest likeness brought! 2. Oh, Jesus, Lord, who loved me like to Thee? Fruit of Thy work, with Thee, too, there to see Thy glory, Lord, while endless ages roll, Myself the prize and travail of Thy soul. 3. Yet it must be: Thy love had not its rest Were Thy redeemed not with Thee fully blest. That love that gives not as the world, but shares All it possesses with its loved co-heirs. 4. Nor I alone; Thy loved ones all, complete In glory, round Thee there with joy shall meet, All like Thee, for Thy glory like Thee, Lord, Object supreme of all, by all adored. 5. The heart is satisfied; can ask no more All thought of self is now forever o’er: Christ, its un-mingled object, fills the heart In blest adoring love—the endless part. 6. Father of mercies, in Thy presence bright All this shall be unfolded in the light; Thy children all, with joy Thy counsels know Fulfilled; patient in hope, while here below. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Unchanging God

Author: S. J. Stone Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven Lyrics: 1 Unchanging God, hear from eternal heaven: We plead Thy gifts of grace, forever given, Thy call, without repentance, calling still, The sure election of Thy sov'reign will. 2 Out of our faith in Thee, who canst not lie, Out of our heart’s desire, goes up the cry, From hope’s sweet vision of the thing to be, From love to those who still are loved by Thee. 3 Bring Thy beloved back, Thine Israel, Thine own elect who from Thy favor fell, But not from Thine election! O forgive, Speak but the word, and, lo! the dead shall live. 4 Father of mercies! these the long astray, These in soul-blindness now the faraway, These are not aliens, but Thy sons of yore, O, by Thy Father-hood, restore, restore! 5 Breathe on Thy Church, that it may greet the day; Stir up her will to toil, and teach, and pray, Till Zion-ward again salvation come, And all her out-cast children are at home. 6 Triune Jehovah, Thine the grace and power, Thine all the work, its past, its future hour; O Thou, who failest not, Thy gifts fulfill, And crown the calling of Thy changeless will.

Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise

Appears in 871 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; Once more we bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly bending, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day; Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
