Abide with me

Author: Rev. H. F. Lyte Appears in 1,721 hymnals 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, oh, abide with me! 2. Swift to its close ebbs out of 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 ev'ry passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Thro' 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! Used With Tune: [Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide]

Of Him who did Salvation

Author: A. W. Boehm Appears in 352 hymnals First Line: Of him who did salvation bring Lyrics: 1. Of him who did salvation bring, I could forever think and sing; Arise, ye needy,--he'll relieve; Arise, ye guilty,--he'll forgive. 2 Ask but his grace, and lo, 'tis given; Ask and he turns your hell to heaven: Though sin and sorrow wound my soul, Jesus, thy balm will make it whole. 3 To shame our sins he blushed in blood; He closed his eyes to show us God: Let all the world fall down and know That none but God such love can show. 4 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone I shed my tears and make my moan; Where'er I am, where'er I move, I meet the object of my love. 5 Insatiate to this spring I fly; I drink, and yet am ever dry; Ah! who against thy charms is proof? Ah! who that loves, can love enough? Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
