Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #670 (1986) 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 thy self my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sun shine, O 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!

Glory to thee, my God, this night

Author: Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #671 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath thine own almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 4 O may my soul on thee repose, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake.

My God, how endless is thy love

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #672 (1986) Lyrics: 1 My God, how endless is thy love!

Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise

Author: John Ellerton (1826-93) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #674 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless thee ere our worship cease, Then, Jowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; With thee begun, with thee shall end the day; Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon thy name. 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, Turn thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to thee. 4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #676 (1986) Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, It is not night if thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant’s eyes! 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought: How sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour’s breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is night, For without thee I dare not die. 4 If some poor wandering child of thine Have spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from thy boundless store; Be every mourner’s sleep tonight, Like infant’s slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of thy love We lose ourselves in Heaven above.

The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended

Author: John Ellerton (1826-93) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #677 (1986) Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended, The darkness falls at thy behest; To thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping, While earth rolls onward into light, Through all the world her watch is keeping, And rests not now by day or night. 3 As o’er each continent and island The dawn leads on another day, The voice of prayer is never silent, Nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking Our brethren ‘neath the western sky, And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never, Like earth’s proud empires, pass away; Thy Kingdom stands, and grows for ever, Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

In the name, the precious name

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: SBSA1986 #678 (1986) First Line: Am I a soldier of the cross Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name? Refrain: In the name, the precious name Of him who died for me, Through grace I’ll win the promised crown, Whate’er my cross may be. 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fight to win the prize, And sail through stormy seas? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Since I must fight if I would reign, Increase my courage, Lord! I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. Topics: The salvation soldier Calling Languages: English
