Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,686 hymnals 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 Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, 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. Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Evening; Christ Abiding with Believers; Evening hymns; Funeral Services; Worship Evening Used With Tune: EVENTIDE (MONK)

Always watch and prayer?" Christian, answer boldly, "While I breathe I pray!"

My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord

Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 2 For He hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden. 3 For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 4 For He that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is His Name. 5 And His mercy is on them that fear Him throughout all generations. 6 He hath showed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat; and hath exalted the humble and meek. 8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away. 9 He remembering His mercy hath holpen His servant Israel; as He promised to our forefather Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
