Abide with Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: SLT1993 #101 (1993) 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; still 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 changes not, abide with me. 3 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.

My Life Flows On in Endless Song

Hymnal: SLT1993 #108 (1993) Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing. It sounds an echo in my soul. How can I keep from singing? 2 What though the tempest 'round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth. What though the darkness 'round me close, songs in the night it giveth. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging. Since love prevails in heav'n and earth, how can I keep from singing? 3 When tyrants tremble as they hear the bells of freedom ringing, when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing! To prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging; when friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing?
