Guide us by your hand To our fatherland. 2 If the way be drear, If the foe be near, Let not faithless fears o'ertake us; Let not faith and hope forsake us, For through many a woe To our home we go. 3 When we seek relief From a long-felt grief, When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 4 Jesus, still lead on Till our rest is won. Heav'nly Leader, still direct us; Still support, console, protect us Till we safely stand In our fatherland. Topics: Trust; Trust Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM

Abide with Me

Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,669 hymnals 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, 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 changest not, abide with me! 3 Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea; Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. 4 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me oft as I left thee. On to the close, O Lord, abide with me. 5 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 6 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. 7 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening; Evening Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Watch with him one bitter hour; Turn not from his griefs away; Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall; View the Lord of life arraigned. Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, pain, or loss; Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete. "It is finished!" hear him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ, by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he. 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like his? Friends through fear his cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress, Many hands were raised to wound him, None would intervene to save, But the deepest stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that justice gave. 3 If you think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great, Here you see its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed; See who bears the awful load -- 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt -- None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

You alone to God can win us; You must work all good within us. 3 Gracious Savior, good and kind, Light from Light, from God proceeding, Open now our heart and mind; Help us by your Spirit's pleading. Hear the cry your people raises; Hear and bless our prayers and praises. 4 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise to you and adoration! Grant that we your Word may trust, Confident of our salvation, While we here below must wander, Till we sing your praises yonder.
