Abroad in the meadows, to see the young lambs

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #SII (1866) Meter: 11.11.8 D Lyrics: Abroad in the meadows, to see the young lambs Run sporting about by the side of their dams, With fleeces so clean and so white; Or a nest of young doves in a large open cage, When they play all in love, without anger or rage, How much may we learn from the sight. 98 If we had been ducks, we might dabble in mud; Or dogs, we might play till it ended in blood: So foul and so fierce are their natures; But Thomas and William, and such pretty names, Should be cleanly and harmless as doves or as lambs, Those lovely sweet innocent creatures. Not a thing that we do, nor a word that we say, Should injure another in jesting or play; For he’s still in earnest that’s hurt: How rude are the boys that throw pebbles and more; There’s none but a madman will fling about fire, And tell you, “‘Tis all but in sport.” Languages: English

Abba, Father, God of love

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CLI (1789) Lyrics: 1 Abba, Father, God of love! Send thy blessing from above; Light and life to all impart; Shine on each believing heart; Kindly comfort all who mourn, Into joy their sorrow turn; 2 Joy which none can take away, Joy which shall for ever stay; All thy kingdom from above, All the happiness of love; Be it to thy servants given, Pardon, holiness, and heaven. 3 Glorious in thy saints appear, Plant thy heavenly kingdom here; Faith and love and joy increase, Temperance and gentleness; Plant in us an humble mind, Patient, pitiful, and kind; 4 Meek and lowly let us be, Full of goodness, full of thee; Make us all in thee complete, Make us all for glory meet, Meet to appear before thy sight, Partners with the saints in light. 5 Let us, in our spirits, prove All the depths of humble love; Let us, in our lives, express All the heights of holiness; To thy church the pattern give, Shew how true believers live. 6 When the glorious race is run, Fought the fight, the battle won; Let us then with joy remove To thy family above; On the wings of angels fly, Shew how true believers die.

Abide With Me! Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E159 (1913) 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, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, it's 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 in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry 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, oh, 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!

Abide with us, Our Saviour

Author: Joshua Stegmann Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E51 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, our Saviour, Nor let Thy mercy cease; From Satan's might defend us, And grant our souls release. 2 Abide with us, our Saviour, Sustain us by Thy Word; That we with all Thy people To life may be restored. 3 Abide with us, our Saviour, Thou light of endless light; Increase to us Thy blessings, And save us by Thy might. 4 To Father, Son, and Spirit, Eternal One in Three, As was, and is forever, All praise and glory be.
