Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,723 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? Though 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. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,507 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed! 3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.

And must I be to Judgment brought

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must I be to Judgment brought. And answer in that day, For every vain and idle thought, And every word I say? 2 Yes; every secret of my heart Shall shortly be made known, And I receive my just desert For all that I have done. 3 How careful, then, ought I to live, With what religious fear; Who such a strict account must give For my behaviour here! 4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead, The watchful power bestow; So shall I to my ways take heed, In all I speak or do.

And must I part with all I have

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have, My dearest Lord, for thee!

And though our bodies part

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And though our bodies part, To different climes afar, Still ever joined as one in heart The friends of Jesus are. 2 O let us still proceed In Jesus' work below; And, following our triumphant Head, To further conquests go. 3 The vineyard of the Lord Before his laborers lies, And lo! we see the vast reward Which waits us in the skies. 4 O that our heart and mind May evermore ascend, That haven of repose to find, Where all our labors end; 5 Where all our toils are o'er, Our suffering and our pain! Who meet on that eternal shore Shall never part again. 6 O happy, happy place, Where saints and angels meet! There we shall see each other's face, And all our brethren greet.

And wilt thou, O eternal God

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And wilt thou, O eternal God, On earth establish thine abode? Then look propitious from thy throne, And take this temple for thine own. 2 These walls we to thy honor raise; Long may they echo with thy praise; And thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of thy grace. 3 Here let the great Redeemer reign, With all the graces of his train; While power divine his word attends, To conquer foes, and cheer his friends. 4 And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey, May it before the world appear That souls were born to glory here.

Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 152 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes; See where thy foes against thee rise, In long array, a numerous host; Awake, my soul! or thou art lost. 2 See where rebellious passions rage, And fierce desires and lusts engage; The meanest foe of all the train Has thousands and ten thousands slain. 3 Thou treadest on enchanted ground; Perils and snares beset thee round; Beware of all, guard every part But most the traitor in thy heart. 4 The terror and the charm repel, The powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear? 5 Come then, my soul! now learn to wield The weight of thine immortal shield; Put on the armor, from above, Of heavenly truth and heavenly love.

Awaked from sin's delusive sleep
