1. A- bide with me: Fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:

When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. A-MEN.

Free from care, from la - bor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. A-MEN.

2 Thou, Whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity,

Open fault, and secret sin.

3 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall forever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free.
Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee:

4 Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then, from Thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.

AMEN.

day;

Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray.

A-MEN.

Within the heavens shine:

3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one,
Oh, do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise.

4 The brightness of the coming night 7
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows on our souls.

5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade:
So fade within our heart

16

The hopes in earthly love and joy,
That one by one depart.

Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heav

And trust in things divine. [en, Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend;

From midnight fears,and perils, Thou

Our trembling hearts defend : Give us a respite from our toil; Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, Oh, give us now repose.
