Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #532 (1870) Topics: Evening Hymns in general Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but 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, oh, 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!

Lord Jesus, in the days of old

Author: J. A. Noble, 1844- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #213 (1917) Topics: Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, in the days of old, Two walked with Thee by waning light, And love's blind instinct made them bold To crave Thy presence through the night; As night descends, we too would pray O leave us not at close of day. 2 Day is far spent and night is nigh; Stay with us, Saviour, through the night; Talk with us, teach us tenderly, Lead us to peace, to rest, to light; Dispel our darkness with Thy face, Radiant with resurrection grace. 3 The hours of day are glad and good, And good thy gifts Thy hand bestows The body's health, the spirit's food, And rest, and after rest repose. We would not lose day's golden gains, So stay with us as daylight wanes. 4 Nor this night only, blessed Lord; We every day and every hour Would walk with Thee Emmausward, To hear Thy voice of love and power; And every night would by Thy side Look, listen, and be satisfied.
