Abide With Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,673 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns; Evening hymns 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, O 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 I need thy presence every passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 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.
5 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.

Abide With Me
The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended
Author: Rev. John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy Kingdom stands, and grows forever
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended
Softly now the light of day
Author: Bishop George W. Doane Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 875 hymnals Topics: Evening hymns Lyrics: 1 Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with Thee.
2 Thou, whose all pervading eye
Naught escapes, without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon for me the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.
Amen. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing

Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly;
Angel-guards from Thee surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heav'n awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.

O Holy Spirit, grant us Grace
Author: O. H. Smeby; S. Jonassön; B. Ringwaldt Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Closing and Evening Hymns Closing Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, grant us grace
That we our Lord and Savior
In faith and fervent love embrace,
And truly serve Him ever,
So that when death is drawing nigh,
We to His open wounds may fly,
And find in them salvation.
2 Help us that we Thy saving word
In faithful hearts may treasure;
Let e’er that bread of life afford
New grace in richest measure;
Yea, let us die to ev'ry sin,
For heaven create us new within,
That fruits of faith may flourish.
3 And when our earthly race is run,
Death’s bitter hour impending,
Then may Thy work, in us begun,
Continue till life’s ending:
Until we gladly may commend
Our souls into our Savior’s hand,
The crown in peace eternal. Used With Tune: HVAD KAN OS KOMME TIL FOR NÖD

It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise,
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes!
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior's breast!
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
4 Be near to bless me when I wake,
Ere thru the world my way I take;
Abide with me till in Thy love
I lose myself in heav'n above.

Thou wilt love me to the end!
Let me love Thee more and more,
Always better than before.

The Shadows of the Evening Hours
Author: Adelaide A. Procter, 1825-1864 Appears in 236 hymnals Topics: Worship and Praise Evening Hymns Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky;
Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening lie;
Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven,
We kneel at close of day;
Look on Thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,
O do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise.
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows from our souls.
3 Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God,
Upon our souls descend;
From midnight fears, and perils, Thou
Our trembling hearts defend;
Give us a respite from our toil,
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we labor, Lord,
O give us now repose.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD
