Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,708 hymnals First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide 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 ev'ry passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Thro' 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. Used With Tune: [Abide with me: fast falls the eventide]

We'll Understand It Better By and By

Author: C.A. Tindley Appears in 99 hymnals First Line: We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time Refrain First Line: By and by, when the morning comes Lyrics: 1. We are tossed and driven on the restless sea of time. Sombre skies and howling tempest oft succeeds a bright sunshine, In that land of perfect day, when the mists have roll'd away, We will understand it better by and by. Refrain: By and by when the morning comes, All the saints of God are gathered home, We'll tell the story how we've overcome, For we'll understand it better by and by. 2. We are often destitute of the things that life demands, Want of shelter and of food—thirsty hills and barren lands, We are trusting in the Lord and according to His word, We will understand it better by and by. (Refrain) 3. Trials dark on ev'ry hand and we cannot understand, All the ways that God would lead us to that Blessed Promis'd Land But He guides us with His eye and we'll follow till we die, For we'll understand it better by and by. (Refrain) 4. Temptations, hidden snares, often take us unawares, And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed, And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best; But we'll understand it better by and by. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [We are often tossed and driven on the restless sea of time]

Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, Weep, believe, and sin no more. Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

After a While

Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.4 with refrain Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: The world of forms and changes is just now so confused Refrain First Line: After a while, after a while Lyrics: 1. The world of forms and changes Is just now so confused That there is found some danger In ev'rything you use; But this is consolation To ev'ry blood-washed child, The Lord will change our station, After a while. Chorus: After a while, after a while, The Lord will change our station, After a while. 2. Old Satan tries to throw down Ev'rything that's good; He'd fix a way to confound The righteous if he could. But thanks to God Almighty That he cannot beguile; And we will be done fighting, After a while. 3. There are some men and women That help the devil on By constantly complaining Of everything that's done, They want to be called Christians And all their badness hide; God will open the secret, After a while. 4. If the preacher in his sermon, Stands up to tell the truth, They'll go about and murmur, With slander and abuse, They want the whole arrangement To suit their selfish style, But God will sit in judgment, After a while. 5. I know we have too many who are living in the dark; They have but little if any, Of Christian work at heart, But thousands, though 'tis stormy, Are marching undefiled; And God will head the army, After a while.

Some Day

Author: C. A. Tindley Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do now know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me Lyrics: 1. Beams of heaven, as I go, Thro' this wilderness below, Guide my feet in peaceful ways, Turn my midnights into days; When in the darkness I would grope, Faith always sees a star of hope, And soon from all life's grief and danger, I shall be free someday. Chorus: I do not know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me, but this I know, if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day. 2. Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Though a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold someday. 3. Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain, There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. 4. Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stain'd eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day. Used With Tune: [Beams of heaven, as I go]

Chorus: Nothing between my soul and the Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favor, Keep the way clear! let nothing between. 2. Nothing between, like worldly pleasure, Habits of life, though harmless they seem, Must not my heart from Him ever sever, He is my all, there's nothing between. (Chorus) 3. Nothing between, like pride or station; Self or friends shall not intervene, Though it may cost me much tribulation, I am resolved; there's nothing between. (Chorus) 4. Nothing between, e'en many hard trials, Though the whole world against me convene; Watching with pray'r and much self-denial, I'll triumph at last, with nothing between. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [Nothing between my soul and the Savior]
