Author: Isaac WattsHymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #350 (1995)Meter: 8.8.8.8Scripture: Luke 23:33-38Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down;
did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Holy Week; Christ--Atonement; Christ--Love of; Christian year--Holy Week; Christian year--LentLanguages: EnglishTune Title: HAMBURG

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847Hymnal: Together in Song #586 (1999)Meter: 10.10.10.10Scripture: Luke 23:39-43Lyrics: 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; Cross; Eternity of God; Evening; Faith; Funerals; Hope; Resurrection; Trust in GodLanguages: EnglishTune Title: EVENTIDE
