O Thou, who gav’st Thy servant grace On Thee the living rock to rest, To look on Thine unveiled face, And lean on Thy protecting breast. 2.

And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits Thy just decree, To find our rest beneath Thy throne, And look in certain hope to Thee. 4. To Thee, O Jesus, light of light, Whom as their king the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore.

Foss Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, O Saviour dear, For dark and low'ring clouds appear; And let Thy light, Thy Word divine, Continue in Thy church to shine. 2 This is a dark and evil day, Forsake us not, O Lord, we pray; And let us in our grief and pain They Word and sacraments retain. 3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold, For we are weak, indifferent, cold; Give us Thy Spirit and Thy grace, And spread Thy truth in every place. 4 And keep us steadfast in Thy Word, Stay Satan's fatal wiles, O Lord; To us Thy grace and power reveal, And let Thy Church Thy presence feel. 5 And since the cause is Thine, we pray, Do Thou the arm of evil stay; And grace and power and wisdom lend To those who would Thy Word defend. 6 Thy Word is in distress and need Our comfort and defense indeed; By it Thy Church keep pure within And free from error, shame, and sin. 7 Grant that Thy Word may light our way, That we in darkness may not stray, But, through this vale of sin and woe, May to the heavenly mansions go. Amen. Topics: The Church General; Word of God Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD

Jesus, the heavenly Bridegroom gave His life, my wretched soul to save; Resolved to make his mercy known, He kindly claims me for his own. 2. Rebellious, I against him strove Till melted and constrained by love; With sin and self I freely part, The heav'nly Bridegroom wins my heart. 3. My guilt, my wretchedness he knows, Yet takes and owns me for his spouse; My debts he pays, and sets me free, And turns his riches o'er to me. 4. My filthy rags are laid aside; He clothes me as becomes his bride; Himself bestows my wedding dress, The robe of perfect righteousness. 5. Angels the wondrous myst’ry view And tune their golden harps anew; They touch the loudest string and raise Their notes to reach the Bridegroom’s praise. 6. Lost in astonishment, I see Jesus, your boundless love to me; With angels I your grace adore And long to love and praise you more. 7. Since you will take me for your bride, O keep me, Savior, near your side; I fain would give you all my heart, Nor ever from my Lord depart.

Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies Behold my Saviour Christ arise; He chaseth from us sin and night, And brings us joy and life and light. 2 O stronger Thou than death and hell, Where is the foe Thou canst not quell! What heavy stone Thou canst not roll From off the prisoned suff'ring soul? 3 If Jesus lives can I be sad? I know He loves me, and am glad: Though all the world were dead to me, Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee! 4 He feeds me, comforts and defends, And when I die His angels sends To bear me whither He is gone, For of His own He loseth none. 5 No more to fear or grief I bow, God and the angels love me now; The joys prepared for me to-day Drive fear and mourning far away.
