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 stay 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 and death, O Lord, abide with me!

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: Abiding, presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee, Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. 4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought I am with Thee. Used With Tune: O PERFECT LOVE

Author: Philipp Nicolai; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Presence of Christ Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise; Rise up with willing feet; Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Alleluia! Bear through the night your well-trimmed light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing; She wakes, she rises from her gloom. Forth her Bridegroom comes, all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious; Her star is risen, her light is come. All hail, Thou precious One, Lord Jesus, God's dear Son! Alleluia! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone. By the pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder In bursts of choral melody. To mortal eyes and ears What glory now appears! Alleluia! We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Used With Tune: SLEEPERS, AWAKE
