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 and Life to Come 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
Abide with Me; Fast Falls the Eventide
For those we love within the veil
Author: William Charter Pigott (1872-1943) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #878 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil,
Who once were comrades of our way,
We thank thee, Lord; for they have won
To cloudless day.
2 And life for them is life indeed,
The splendid goal of earth’s strait race;
And where no shadows intervene
They see thy face.
3 Free from the fret of mortal years,
And knowing now thy perfect will,
With quickened sense and heightened joy
They serve thee still.
4 O fuller, sweeter is that life,
And larger, ampler is the air;
Eye cannot see nor heart conceive
The glory there!
5 There are no tears within their eyes;
With love they keep perpetual tryst;
And praise and work and rest are one
With thee, O Christ.

For those we love within the veil
There is a happy land
Author: Andrew Young (1807-89) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #897 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
O how they sweetly sing:
Worthy is our Saviour-King!
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.
2 Come to this happy land,
Come, come away;
Why will you doubting stand,
Why still delay?
O we shall happy be
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3 Bright in that happy land
Beams every eye;
Kept by a Father’s hand,
Love cannot die.
On, then, to glory run;
Be a crown and kingdom won,
And bright above the sun
Reign, reign for aye.

Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down

Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,

For your time is swiftly flying,
In the grave you’ll soon be lying
When the sun goes down!
Refrain:
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
O sinner, come to Jesus
Ere the sun goes down!
2 Every chance will soon be past,
When the sun, when the sun goes down;
Even this may be the last,
When the sun, when the sun goes down.
If this offer be rejected,
And salvation still neglected,
Death may come when least expected,
When the sun goes down.

For ever with the Lord
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #877 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord!
Amen; so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
‘Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home.
2 My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times, to faith’s foreseeing eye,
Thy golden gates appear.
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints.
Jerusalem above.
3 For ever with the Lord!
Father, if ‘tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E’en herein me fulfil.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.
4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne:
For ever with the Lord!

My Lord beholding!

Then I shall at his feet abide,
My Lord beholding.

Some day I’ll see his blessèd face,
Some day I’ll see his blessèd face,

My soul redeeming;
Up from the grave he rose for me,
My pardon sealing.
Some day I’ll cross old Jordan’s tide,
Some day the gates will open wide,
Then I shall at his feet abide,
My Lord beholding.
3 O’er all the hills and dales of life,
With Jesus walking,
Amidst the noise of earthly strife,
I hear him talking.
Some day I’ll cross old Jordan’s tide,
Some day the gates will open wide,
Then I shall at his feet abide,
My Lord beholding.
