Abide with me, Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,677 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:31 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: Eternal Life; Evening; Fears; God Changelessness; God Presence of Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

The time is short! the season near

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 Lyrics: 1 The time is short! the season near, When death will us remove; To leave our friends, however dear, And all we fondly love. 2 The time is short! sinners beware, Nor trifle time away; The word of great salvation hear, While it is call'd to-day. 3 The time is short! ye rebels, now To Christ the Lord submit; To mercy's golden sceptre bow, And fall at Jesus' feet. 4 The time is short! ye saints rejoice-- The Lord will quickly come: Cure the vile fever of the mind, And feed our soul with joys refin'd.

The clanging bells of time

Author: Ellen M. H. Gates Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 First Line: O the clanging bells of time Lyrics: 1 O the clanging bells of Time! Night and day they never cease; We are wearied with their chime, For they do not bring us peace; And we hush our breath to hear, And we strain our eyes to see, If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! 2 O the clanging bells of Time! How their changes rise and fall, But in under tone sublime, Sounding clearly thro’ them all, Is a voice that must be heard, As our moments onward flee, And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! 3 O the clanging bells of Time! To their voices loud and low, In a long, unresting line We are marching to and fro; And we yearn for sight or sound, Of the light that is to be, For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! 4 O the clanging bells of Time! Soon their notes will all be dumb, And in joy and peace sublime, We shall feel the silence come; And our souls their thirst will slake, And our eyes the King will see, When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! Topics: Warning Used With Tune: [O the clanging bells of time]

The Sanctified Life

Author: A. F. I. Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:31 First Line: No doubt, my dear friends, you have heard people say Refrain First Line: Where cometh no envy and strife Lyrics: 1 No doubt, my dear friends, you have heard people say: “I’m sick of this ‘up-and-down’ life; I wish I could find ‘a more excellent way’, Where cometh no envy and strife.” “Where cometh no envy and strife, With anger and selfishness rife; I wish I could find ‘a more excellent way’, Where cometh no envy and strife.” 2 I’ll sing you a song of the sanctified life, A life “set apart” from all sin; A beautiful life, free from “envy and strife”; For Jesus is dwelling within. For Jesus is dwelling within, And keeping the soul calm and clean; A beautiful life, free from “envy and strife”; For Jesus is dwelling within. 3 I used to grow nervous, impatient, and pout, When things would not go just my way, But now ‘tis quite diff’rent; I look up and shout, For Jesus is in me to stay. For Jesus is in me to stay, I’m sanctified wholly today, And now ‘tis quite diff’rent; I look up and shout, For Jesus is in me to stay. 4 Perhaps, my dear friend, you would like to know how This change in my nature was made; And why I am singing this song to you now— Not feeling the least bit afraid. Not feeling the least bit afraid, Faint-hearted, ashamed, nor dismayed; Yes, brother, I’m singing this song to you now, Not feeling the least bit afraid. 5 One night, while communing with Jesus, quite late, He whispered this message so true; “Despised and rejected, and outside the gate, I suffered to sanctify you.” “I suffered to sanctify you, To save, heal, and sanctify you, Despised and rejected, and outside the gate, I suffered to sanctify you. 6 I knelt at the cross where His blood was applied, The blood that eradicates sin, And there the dear Savior my soul sanctified, And gave me “the witness” within. He gave me the witness within, And glory from heaven shone in; ‘Twas there the dear Saviour my soul sanctified, And gave me the witness within. 7 Since then I’ve been marching with triumphant tread Thro’ Canaan’s rich, fruit-bearing clime; For self has been slain and the “old man” is dead, And vict’ry is mine all the time. Sweet vict’ry is mine all the time, The “fulness of joy” now is mine; Since self has been slain and the “old man” has died, Sweet vic’try is mine all the time.

Chorus: Only a little while have I on earth to sorrow; Only a little while, And comes the glad tomorrow. 2 Oh, for the fadeless bloom Of Paradise' sweet bowers! Where changeless joys illume The never-ending hours. Oh, for the waters calm! The pastures ever fair! Oh, for the healing balm! The Shepherd's tender care!

Oh, failing heart be strong! 'Tis but a little while. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Only a little while]
