Abide with me, Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,669 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:31 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 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.

The time is short! the season near

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 Lyrics: 1 The time is short! the season near, When death will us remove; To leave our friends, however dear, And all we fondly love. 2 The time is short! sinners beware, Nor trifle time away; The word of great salvation hear, While it is call'd to-day. 3 The time is short! ye rebels, now To Christ the Lord submit; To mercy's golden sceptre bow, And fall at Jesus' feet. 4 The time is short! ye saints rejoice-- The Lord will quickly come: Cure the vile fever of the mind, And feed our soul with joys refin'd. Topics: Holy Spirit Vanity and uncertainty of life; Time is short

The clanging bells of time

Author: Ellen M. H. Gates Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:29 First Line: O the clanging bells of time Lyrics: 1 O the clanging bells of Time! Night and day they never cease; We are wearied with their chime, For they do not bring us peace; And we hush our breath to hear, And we strain our eyes to see, If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! If thy shores are drawing near,— Eternity! 2 O the clanging bells of Time! How their changes rise and fall, But in under tone sublime, Sounding clearly thro’ them all, Is a voice that must be heard, As our moments onward flee, And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! And it speaketh aye one word,— Eternity! 3 O the clanging bells of Time! To their voices loud and low, In a long, unresting line We are marching to and fro; And we yearn for sight or sound, Of the light that is to be, For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! For the breath doth wrap us round,— Eternity! 4 O the clanging bells of Time! Soon their notes will all be dumb, And in joy and peace sublime, We shall feel the silence come; And our souls their thirst will slake, And our eyes the King will see, When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! When thy glorious morn shall break,— Eternity! Topics: Warning Used With Tune: [O the clanging bells of time]
