“ABIDE WITH ME”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“THERE IS A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD”
1 There is a fountain filled with blood 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins; Shall never lose its power,
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Till all the ransomed ones of God
Lose all their guilty stains: Be saved, to sin no more:
Lose all their guilty stains, Be saved, to sin no more,
Lose all their guilty stains; Be saved, to sin no more;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Till all the ransomed ones of God,
Lose all their guilty stains. Be saved to sin no more.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 4 E’er since by faith I saw the stream
That fountain in his day; Thy flowing wounds supply,
And there may I, though vile as he, Redeeming love has been my theme,
Wash all my sins away: And shall be till I die:
Wash all my sins away, And shall be till I die,
Wash all my sins away; And shall be till I die;
And there may I, though vile as he, Redeeming love has been my theme,
Wash all my sins away. And shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save:
I’ll sing Thy power to save,
I’ll sing Thy power to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save.
“WHOM SHALL I FEAR?”
The Lord is my light and my salvation The Lord is my light and my salvation The Lord is my light and my salvation Whom shall I fear? In the time of trouble, He shall hide me
In the time of trouble, He shall hide me
In the time of trouble, He shall hide me
Whom shall I fear?
[Chorus]
Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life Whom shall I fear? Wait on the Lord and be of good courage
Wait on the Lord and be of good courage
Wait on the Lord and be of good courage
He shall strengthen thine heart.
