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

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.

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

If you cannot rouse the wicked With the Judgment's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your off'rings You can do what God demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task he gives you gladly; Let his work your pleasure be. Answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I– send me, send me!" Topics: Missions; Missions Used With Tune: GALILEAN
