Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: CP1998 #24 (1998) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 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 dark 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.

We stand to bless thee ere our worship cease, then lowly kneeling wait thy word of peace. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; with thee began, with thee shall end the day. Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon thy name. 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn thou for us its darkness into light. From harm and danger keep thy children free, for dark and light are both alike to thee. 4 Grant us thy peace, throughout our earthly life; our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife. Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace. Topics: Evening; Peace of God Scripture: John 14:23-29 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

Christians reach out to meet God's wretchedness. 3 And God draws near to people in distress, feeding their souls and bodies with his bread; Christian or not, for both he's hanging dead, forgiving, from the cross, their wickedness.

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: CP1998 #275 (1998) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see: crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest: God shall be all and in all ever blest. 2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessed people eternally raise. 5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh, seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 6 Low before God with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, with them ever one.

God Is Our Song

Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-) Hymnal: CP1998 #305 (1998) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: God is our song, and every singer blest Lyrics: 1 God is our song, and every singer blest who, giving praise, finds energy and rest. All who praise God with unaffected joy give back to us the blessing we destroy. 2 God is our song, for Jesus comes to save; while praising him, we offer all we have. New songs we sing, in ventures new unite, when Jesus leads us upward into light. 3 This is the song no conflict ever drowns; who praises God all human wrath disowns. Love knows what rich complexities of sound God builds upon a simple, common ground. 4 God is our silence when no songs are sung, when ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue. Glorious the faith which silently obeys until we find again the voice of praise.
