• Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.' mp

BIDE with me: fast falls the eventide;
AB

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fais, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

mp 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,

Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; mf Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:

In life and death, O Lord, abide with me.

This is the day which the Lord hath made ; we will rejoice and be glad in it.'

On thee the high and lowly,

Through ages joined in tune,
Sing, (p c) • Holy, Holy, Holy,'

To the great God Triune. m 2 On thee, at the creation,

The light first had its birth; mf On thee, for our salvation,

Christ rose from depths of earth;
On thee our Lord victorious

The Spirit sent from heaven:
And thus on thee most glorious

A triple light was given. m 3 Thou art a cooling fountain

In life's dry dreary sand;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,

We view our promised land.
A day of sweet refection,

A day thou art of love,
A day of resurrection

From earth to things above.
4 To-day on weary nations

The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations

The silver trumpet calls,
mf Where gospel light is glowing

With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing

With soul-refreshing streams. m 5 New graces ever gaining

From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining

To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,

To Father, and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises

To Thee, blest Three in One.
