When Aimless Violence Takes Those We Love
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 90 Lyrics: 1 When aimless violence takes those we love,
when random death strikes childhood's promise down,
when wrenching loss becomes our daily bread,
we know, O God, you leave us not alone.
2 When passing years rob sight and strength and mind
yet fail to still a strongly beating heart,
and grief becomes the fabric of our days,
dear Lord, you do not stand from us apart.
3 Our faith may flicker low, and hope grow dim,
yet you, O God, are with us in our pain;
you grieve with us and for us day by day,
and with us, sharing sorrow, will remain.
4 Because your Son knew agony and loss,
felt desolation, grief, and scorn and shame,
we know you will be with us, come what may,
your loving presence near, always the same.
5 Through long, grief-darkened days help us, dear Lord,
to trust your grace for courage to endure,
to rest our souls in your supporting love,
and find our hope within your mercy sure.

God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand
Author: Daniel Crane Roberts Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 419 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 90:1-2 Lyrics: 1 God of the ages, whose almighty hand
leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past.
In this free land by thee our lot is cast.
Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay:
thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
be thy strong arm our ever sure defense.
Thy true religion in our hearts increase.
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way.
Lead us from night to never-ending day.
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

Abide with me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,673 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 90:3-10 First Line: Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide (Reste avec moi! C'est l'heure le jour baisse) 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, oh 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.

1 Reste avec moi! C'est l'heure où le jour baisse;
l'ombre grandit, Seigneur, attarde-toi!
Tous les appuis manquent à ma faiblesse;
force du faible, O Christ, reste avec moi!
2 Le flot des jours rapidement s'écoule
leur gloire est vaine et leur bonheur déçoit;
tout change et meurt, tout chancelle et s'écroule;
toi qui ne changes point, reste avec moi!
3 J'ose implorer plus qu'un regard qui passe;
viens, comme à tes disciples, autrefois,
plein de douceur, de tendresse et de grâce,
et pour toujours, Seigneur, reste avec moi!
4 Heure après heure, il me faut ta présence,
le tentateur ne redoute que toi.
Qui donc prendrait contre lui ma défense?
Dans l'ombre ou la clarté, reste avec moi!
