Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HPAG1933 #33 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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 Tune Title: EVENTIDE (MONK)

Doane Hymnal: HPAG1933 #34 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. 2 Thou, whose all pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. 3 Soon for me the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. 4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.

The shadows of the evening hours

Author: Adelaide A. Procter Hymnal: HPAG1933 #36 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie: Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise. The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: Give us a respite from our toil, Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, O give us now repose.

Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: HPAG1933 #37 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast. 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die. 4 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight, Like infants' slumbers, pure and light. 5 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

The radiant morn hath passed away

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: HPAG1933 #38 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 The radiant morn hath passed away, And spent too soon her golden store; The shadows of departing day Creep on once more. 2 Our life is but a fading dawn, Its glorious noon how quickly past! Lead us, O Christ, when all is gone, Safe home at last. 3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace Uplift our hearts to realms on high! Help us to look to that bright place Beyond the sky, 4 Where light and life and joy and peace In undivided empire reign, And thronging angels never cease Their deathless strain; 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white, And evening shadows never fall, Where Thou, eternal Light of light, Art Lord of all.

From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us The livelong day. 3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And when we die, May we in Thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie; When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not Thou, our God, forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With Thee on high.
