Abide with Me! Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HOoS1926 #550 (1926) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 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 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, O abide with me! 5 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! 6 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! Amen.

Now God Be with Us, for the Night Is Closing

Author: Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #551 (1926) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing. The light and darkness are of His disposing, And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o’er us, In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us. 3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep o’ertakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us; Thee let us serve in all that we are doing Thy praise pursuing. 4 Through Thy Belovèd soothe the sick and weeping. And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping: Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them; Do Thou befriend them. 5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. 6 Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy kingdom given, Thy will be done on earth as ’tis in heaven, Give daily bread, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever. Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: NIGHTFALL

I Love to Steal Awhile Away

Author: Phoebe (Hinsdale) Brown Hymnal: HOoS1926 #555 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From ev'ry cumb'ring care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think of mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day. Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES

The Twilight Shadows Round Me Fall

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Hymnal: HOoS1926 #556 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The twilight shadows round me fall, And night comes stealing on; But Thou, dear Lord, art ever near, My Day when day is gone. Thy wings in love o'ershadow me, The night with Thee is light; I rest in Thee, Thou Changeless One, And wait the dawning bright. 2 My life is but a fleeting day, My race, how quickly run! The dawn and noon-day glory fade Into the setting sun. A stranger and a pilgrim here, With faltering feet I roam; Lord, let Thy glory light the way That leads me to my home. 3 By faith I see the better land, Where falls no earthly night, Where Thou dost shine, a radiant Sun, The Everlasting Light. Then help me, Lord, to walk with Thee, And keep me Thine alway, That when I sleep, I may awake Unto the perfect day. Amen.

Soul and body, mind and health, All my loved ones, house and wealth, Friend and foe, the sick, the stranger, Keep Thou safe from harm and danger. 4 O Thou mighty God, now hearken To the prayer Thy child hath made; Jesus, while the night hours darken, Be Thou still my hope, my aid; Holy Ghost, on Thee I call, Friend and Comforter of all, Hear my earnest prayer, O hear me! Yea, Thou hearest, Thou art near me. Amen. Topics: Occasional Evening; Evening; God the Father Languages: English Tune Title: WERDE MUNTER, MEIN GEMUTHE
