Evening of Life

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Laudes Domini #80 (1890) Topics: Old Age; Old Age First Line: Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day Lyrics: 1 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories away: Change and decay in all around I see; O thou, who changest not, abide with me! 2 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 every plea; Come, Friend of sinners, and abide with me. 3 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. 4 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!

O God, Hear My Prayer; Let My Cry Come to You

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Christian Worship #102A (2021) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 O God, hear my prayer; let my cry come to you, and turn not your face from my need. My days fade like smoke, all my bones burn like coals, my heart has dried up like a reed. I moan like an owl or a lone rooftop bird, while enemies taunt night and day. Because of your anger, my bread tastes like ash, while life wanes and withers away. 2 Yet you are the true God whose throne will endure, whose ways are both righteous and just. Restore now the city your servants hold dear, who cherish its stones and its dust. Of old you have pitied the prisoners' groans, freed those under sentence of death. Once more for your glory reveal your great might, and we shall sing praise with each breath. 3 My strength fades and fails in the midst of my days, my life-span feels suddenly brief. To you, ageless God, will I make my appeal; preserve me and grant me relief. You still will remain when the works of your hands are shrugged off like clothing out-worn. May praise from the people who honor your name continue through ages unborn. Languages: English Tune Title: SAMANTRHA
