WORSHIP-MORNING AND EVENING. EVENTIDE. 10. WILLIAM HENRY MONE. 93 Abide with me. 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 stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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! WARWICK. C. M. SAMUEL STANLEY, 98 Preparation for public worship. 1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high: To thee will I direct my prayer, To thee lift up mine eye: 2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone, 3 Thou art a God before whose sight 4 Now to thy house will I resort, 1 HAPPY the home when God is there, And love fills every breast; When one their wish and one their prayer And one their heavenly rest. 2 Happy the home where Jesus' name Where children early lisp his fame, 3 Happy the home where prayer is heard, And praise is wont to rise; Where parents love the sacred word, 4 Lord, let us in our homes agree, UNKNOWN, !
