Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #807 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Death of Believers 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 Lord who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour.
What but your grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like yourself 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,
though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your 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.
Scripture: Exodus 33:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

when death’s cold, sullen stream
rolls over me,
blessed Savior, then, in love
fear and distrust remove;

redeemed and free! Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET

in sparkling raiment bright,
the armies of the ransomed saints
throng up the steeps of light!
'Tis finished, all is finished,
their fight with death and sin.
Fling open wide the golden gates
and let the victors in!

fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
and all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
a thousand fold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
on Canaan's happy shore;
what knitting severed friendships up,
where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
that brimmed with tears of late,
no orphans left without a home,
nor mourners desolate.
4 Bring near your great salvation,
O Lamb for sinners slain;
fill up the roll of your elect,
then take your pow'r and reign!
Appear, Desire of nations,
your exiles long for home;
show in the heav'n your promised sign;
then, Prince and Savior, come. Scripture: Isaiah 25:6-9 Languages: English Tune Title: EASTHAM

The LORD himself doth condescend
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXIII (1767) Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Death Lyrics: 1 The LORD himself doth condescend,
To be my Shepherd and my Friend;
I on his faithfulness rely;
His Care shall all my Wants supply.
2 In Pastures green he doth me lead,
And there in Safety makes me feed,
Refreshing Streams are ever nigh,
My thirsty Soul to satify.
3 When stray'd, or languid, I complain,
His Grace revives my Soul again;
For his Name's sake, in Ways upright,
He makes me walk with great Delight.
4 Yea, when Death's gloomy Vale I tread,
With Joy, ev'n there, I'll lift my Head;
From Fear and Dread he'll keep me free,
His Rod and Staff shall comfort me.
5 Thou spread'st a Table, Lord for me,
While Foes with Spite thy Goodness see;
Thou dost my Head with Oil anoint,
And a full Cup for me appoint.
6 Goodness and Mercy shall to me,
Through all my Life extended be;
And when my Pilgrimage is o'er,
I'll dwell with thee for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: [The Lord himself doth condescend]
The LORD himself doth condescend
With joint Consent let all the World attend
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XLIX (1767) Topics: Description of Confidence of Believers in Death Lyrics: 1 With joint Consent let all the World attend,
And let my Precepts in their Hearts descend,
Let high and low, and rich and poor, give Ear,
And my Instructions with Attention hear:
My Mouth supply'd with Wisdom from my Heart,
Shall sacred Oracles to you impart;
The sound Result of prudent Contemplation
And Thoughts digested for your Information.
2 Mine Ear I will to Parables incline;
Whilst to my Harp I sing the deep Design.
In dang'rous Times why should my courage fail,
Tho' wicked Men against me would prevail:
Those Men, who all their Hope in Treasure place,
And boast to see their ill-got Wealth increase,
Cannot from Death, their Dearest Friend deliver.
Or change the Will of GOD; that's fix'd forever.
3 In this, their vain Endeavours they must quit,
The Mark is far too high for them to hit;
No Sums of Wealth a Grant so large can buy;
That Man, by Nature mortal, should not die;
No Wisdom can secure the Wise from Death,
Nor Fools by Folly stay their fleeting Breath;
But both must fall, their Wealth must be resigned,
And in the Grave their mould'ring Dust confined.
4 For tho' they think their Names will have no End,
But unto distant Ages shall extend;
That all their stately Seats shall still endure,
And that their Lands and Treasures are secure:
Yet shall they fall, how great so e'er their State,
And with the Beasts shall meet one common Fate;
Their transient Glory shall be disrespected,
Their Memory forgot, and quite neglected.
But their Remembrance last in lands
Part II
5 How greatly then, their Folly's, to be blam'd
Who walk in Error ever unreclaim'd;
Whose Children still repeat repeat their gross Mistake,
And like their Sires, absurd Conclusions make;
They all like Sheep, when to the Slaughter led,
The Prey of all devouring Death are made:
Their Beauty (whilst the Righteous are protected,)
Within the dreary Tomb shall be neglected.
6 But GOD shall snatch me from th'expecting Grave,
And shall my Soul unto himself receive:
Then fear not thou, tho' worldly Men abound,
In envy'd Wealth, and are with Honour crown'd;
Nor let their prosp'rous State disturb thy Peace,
Altho' their large Possessions still encrease;
For when they die, their Wealth must be resigned,
And all their Glory in the Grave confined.
7 And yet, enticed in the Flatt'rers Snare,
They tho't their State was blest, and took no Care;
Their Fathers Steps they tread, and when they die,
In endless Darkness, like their Father lie;
For Man, how great so-e'er his State may be,
Unless he walks from Vice and Folly free,
As like a Beast, he hath his Life directed,
So shall he perish like a Beast neglected. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: [With joint Consent let all the World attend]

God of my life, through all my days,
My grateful powers shall sound Thy praise;
My song shall wake with opening
And cheer the dark and silent night.
2. When anxious cares would break my rest,
And griefs would tear my throbbing breast,
Thy tuneful praises, raised on high,
Shall check the murmur and the sigh.
3. When death o'er nature shall prevail,
And all the powers of language fail,
Joy through my swimming eyes shall break
And mean the thanks I cannot speak.
4. But O, when that last conflict's o'er,
And I am chained to earth no more,
With what glad accents shall I rise
To join the music of the skies!
5. Soon shall I learn the exalted strains
Which echo through the heavenly plains;
And emulate, with joy unknown,
The glowing seraphs round the throne.
6. The cheerful tribute will I give,
Long as a deathless soul shall live;
A work so sweet, a theme so high,
Demands and crowns eternity.

Nor hide Thee from my cry;
Attend my sad complaint, and hear
My restless moan and sigh.
My enemies lift up their voice,
The violent oppress;
To do me wrong my foes rejoice,
And love my soul's distress.
2 Sore pained in heart I find no ease,
Death's terrors fill my soul,
Great fear and trembling on me seize,
And horrors o'er me roll.
O had I wings, I sigh and say,
Like some swift dove to roam,
Then would I hasten far away
And find a peaceful home.
3 Lo, wandering far my rest should be
In some lone desert waste;
I from the stormy wind would flee,
And to a shelter haste.
O Lord, their malice recompense,
Their wicked tongues confound,
For in the city violence
And bitter strife abound.
4 They walk her walls both night and day,
Within all vices meet;
Oppression, fraud, and crime hold sway,
Nor leave the crowded street.
No foreign foe provokes alarm,
But enemies within;
May God destroy their power to harm
And recompense their sin. Scripture: Psalm 55 Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI

Who 'mid this throng hast found no rest,
Nor in a home abided.

The grave alone provided.

A refuge for my Saviour meet,
No longer dark and narrow!
Like Him, I enter thee content,
Released from toil and sorrow.

My Lord hath set for thee a bound:
His promise I remember.
Like Him, triumphant I shall come
From out that peaceful chamber.

Light bursts from the tomb;
The living fulfillment
Of Scripture is come.
Adored by the angels,
The Victor comes forth
To claim for His kingdom
The ransomed on earth.
The seal has been broken,
The stone rolled away,
And fled are the watchers
In fear and dismay;
Hell trembles before Him.
Hallelujah.
2 Light grappled with darkness,
Death wrestled with life;
Now light comes triumphant
From out the dread strife.
While death lieth vanquished,
Hope kindles again
The torch of the faithful
To shine among men.
Ye sorrowing women
Who hither have sped,
Why seek ye the living
To-day 'mongst the dead?
For Jesus is risen.
Hallelujah.
3 Now God in His heaven
And man are at one,
The grave is a pathway,
Through Christ, to the throne.
Ye friends that are bending
In grief at the cross,
Now lift your heads gladly,
Ye suffered no loss.
O flock, scattered widely,
Return to the fold:
Thy Shepherd still liveth,
And now as of old
He leadeth thee Godward.
Hallelujah.
4 'Mid storms and upheavals
His Church stands secure.
The truth of His gospel
Shall ever endure.
Lo! unto all peoples
His message shall speed,
Proclaiming 'mid turmoil
The Lord's mighty deed,
Proclaiming the Saviour
Who died for all men,
And, having arisen,
Now liveth again,
Firstfruits of the sleeping.
Hallelujah.
5 Then weep not, ye faithful,
Yield not to despair:
The night soon is over,
The day shall appear.
Though earth shall embrace you
When death lays you low,
The seed of His sowing
To harvests will grow;
And soon shall the Sower
Return to His field
With angels to gather
Its heavenly yield,
From evil tares severed.
Hallelujah.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8 Languages: English Tune Title: HVAD IJUS ÖFVER GRIFTEN!

Has freed us from sin's galling band;
No more its thralldome we need fear;
The year of liberty is here.

To us Thou givest strength indeed,
In all our conflicts, all our need.

We, too, with joy, may heavenward rise,
First from our sin, to love Thy way,

Redeemest me, that even I
May reach eternal life on high.

Bear them o'er land and sea:

Can thy terrors, Death, appal me;

From the grave He will recall me.

This shall be my confidence.

High o'er heaven and earth is given:
I shall go where He is gone,
Live and reign with Him in heaven.
God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence!
This shall be my confidence.

Hence will I, to Jesus living,
Pure in heart and act abide,
Praise to Him and glory giving.
Freely God doth aid dispense;
This shall be my confidence.

Naught from me His love shall sever;
Life, nor death, nor powers of hell,
Part me now from Christ for ever.

But the gate of Life immortal;
This shall calm my trembling breath,
When I pass its gloomy portal.
Faith shall cry, as fails each sense.

A risen Lord, to chase away
Your unbelieving fears:
Oh, weep no more your comforts slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.

When life's last hour draws nigh,
If Jesus shine upon the soul,
How blissful then to die;
Since He has risen that once was slain,
Ye die in Christ to live again.

There dwells incarnate love;
Grace sits triumphant there;
See mercy smile, e'en on that throne
Where once did wrath and justice frown.
