Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,672 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:12 First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide 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 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. Topics: Comfort; Evening; Funeral; Grace; Living and Dying in Christ Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining; low lies his head with the beasts of the stall; angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, odours of Edom, and offerings divine, gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, vainly with gifts would his favour secure: richer by far is the heart's adoration, dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; star of the east, the horizon adorning, guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who set us free, And hail him as your matchless King Through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing Who died and reigns on high; Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love, Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, Whose power a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; And round his piercèd feet Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The risen Lord sublime, Creator of the rolling spheres, The master of all time. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity.
