Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793 - 1847 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #576 (1958) 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, O abide with me. A-men. 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.

Nearer, my God, to thee

Author: Sarah Flower Adams, 1805 - 48 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #577 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 3 Then let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts, Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 5 Or, if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.

Author: Georgia Harkness, b. 1891 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #581 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Hope of the world, thou Christ of great compassion, Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent. Save us, thy people, from consuming passion, Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent. 2 Hope of the world, God's gift from highest heaven, Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life, Still let thy Spirit unto us be given To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife. 3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways, Showing to wandering souls the path of light; Walk thou beside us lest the tempting byways Lure us away from thee to endless night. A-men. 4 Hope of the world, who by thy Cross didst save us From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt; We render back the love thy mercy gave us; Take thou our lives and use them as thou wilt. 5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious, Who by this sign didst conquer grief and pain, We would be faithful to thy Gospel glorious: Thou art our Lord! Thou dost for ever reign! Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Comfort and Rest Languages: English Tune Title: ANCIENT OF DAYS

Whate'er our God ordains is right

He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall; Wherefore to him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er our God ordains is right; He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path; I know he will not leave me, I take, content, What he hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait his day. 3 Whate’er our God ordains is right; Though now this cup, in drinking, May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking; Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er our God ordains is right; Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet am I not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #583 (1958) Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes; 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood Should fright us from the shore!

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, XII cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #584 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed; I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. A-men. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blesséd country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

There shall thy sons and daughters The tree of life partake, Shall drink the living waters, And bread with thee shall break.
