Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. H. F. Lyte Hymnal: HRGC1892 #12b (1894) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 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 the 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. Amen. Topics: Fellowship with God; Daily Prayer Evening Languages: English Tune Title: [Abide with me: fast falls the eventide]

Oh, worship the King, all glorious above

Author: Sir R. Grant Hymnal: HRGC1892 #459 (1894) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King, all glorious above! Oh, gratefully sing His power and His love! Our shield and defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of His might! Oh, sing of His grace! Whose robe is the light; whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunder clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills; it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise.

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: HRGC1892 #630 (1894) Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest; Cares of today, and burdens for tomorrow, Blessings implored, and sins to be confest; We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord. 2 Thou knowest all the past; how long and blindly On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed; How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid; And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pan, And brought back life, and hope: and strength again. 3 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear; All to myself assigned, of tribulation, Or to belovèd ones, than self more dear; All pensive memories, as I journey on, Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone. 4 Thou knowest all the future: gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast; Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last. Oh, what could hope and confidence afford To tread that path, but this? Thou knowest, Lord. 5 Thou knowest, not alone as God, all-knowing; As Man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved; On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 6 Therefore I come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay my sins and sorrows at Thy feet; On everlasting Strength my weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete: Then rising and refreshed I leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as I am known. Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions; For the Sick and Afflicted; Sympathy Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow]

Author: Mrs. M. A. Thomson Hymnal: HRGC1892 #177 (1894) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 O King of saints, we give Thee praise and glory For the bright cloud of witnesses unseen, Whose names shine forth like stars, in sacred story, Guiding our steps to realms of light serene; 2 And for Thy hidden saints, our praise adoring, Fount of all sanctity, to Thee we yield, Who in Thy treasure-house on high, art storing Jewels who lustre was, on earth, concealed. 3 Thine arm sustained them all in conflict mortal With sin, the world, and all the powers of hell; Thy hand hath oped for all, the shining portal To realms where peace and joy forever dwell. 4 There they are throned and white-robed elders, casting Before the King of kings their crowns of gold; And there are crowns and mansions everlasting, And palms and harps for multitudes untold. 5 Though, in Thy service, we too oft have slumbered, Like the ten virgins, foolish ones and wise; Yet with Thy saints, may we at last be numbered, And at Thy call with burning lamps arise. Amen. Topics: All Saints Languages: English Tune Title: [O, King od saints, we give Thee praise and glory]
