Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,
For round us falls the even-tide;
Nor let Thy Word, that heavenly light,
For us be ever veiled in night.
2 In these last days of sore distress
Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness,
That pure we keep--till life is spent--
Thy holy Word and Sacrament.
3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold,
For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold;
Endow Thy Word with power and grace,
And spread its truth in every place,
4 Oh, keep us in Thy Word, we pray;
The guile and rage of Satan stay;
Unto Thy Church grant, Lord, Thy grace,
Peace, concord, patience, fearlessness.
5 O God! how sin's dread works abound!
Throughout the earth no rest is found,
And wide has falsehood's spirit spread,
And error boldly rears its head.
6 Those haughty spirits, Lord, restrain,
That fain would o'er Thy Christians reign,
And e'er bring forth some fancies new,
Devised to change Thy statutes true.
7 And, as the cause and glory, Lord,
Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford
Us help and strength and constancy;
With all our heart we trust in Thee.
8 A trusty weapon is Thy Word,
Thy Church's buckler, shield and sword;
Lord, let us by this word abide,
That we may seek no other guide.
9 Oh, grant that in Thy holy Word
We here may live and die, dear Lord,
And when our journey endeth here,
Receive us into glory there. Topics: Christ Love of; Church; Church Afflicted and Militant; Steadfastness, prayed for Used With Tune: LORD JESUS CHRIST, TRUE SON OF GOD
Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide
O Christ, our true and only Light
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Enlighten those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all whom in their secret minds
Some dark delusion haunts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold,
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So shall they with us evermore
Thy grace with wondering thanks adore,
And praise unceasing Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
