“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, oh, abide with me.”
“I need Thy presence every passing hour, shine through the gloom and point me to the skies, heaven’s morning breaks and earth’s vain shadows flee, O Thou who changest not abide with me.”
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me, see on the portals He’s waiting and watching, watching for you and for me. Come home, come home, ye who are weary come home, earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, calling, “O sinner come home”
O. for the wonderful love He has promised, promised for you and for me, though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon, pardon for you and for me. Come home, come home, ye who are weary come home, earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling, calling, “O sinner come home.”

“Through all the changing scenes of life, in trouble and in joy, the praises of my God shall still my heart and tongue employ.”
“Of His deliv’rance I will boast,, till all that are distressed, from my example comfort take and lay their griefs to rest. O magnify the Lord with me, with me exalt His name; when in distress to Him I called, He to my rescue came. The hosts of God encamp around, the dwellings of the just; deliv’rance He affords to all
who in His promise trust. Fear Him, you saints, and you will then, have nothing else to fear; make serving Him your sole delight, and your wants shall be His care.”
“The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended, the darkness falls at Thy behest; to Thee our morning hymns ascended, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.” Thank You, Lord!
“We thank Thee that Thy church, unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world her watch is keeping, and rests not now by day or night. As o’er each continent and island, the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. The sun that bids us rest is waking, our brethren ‘neath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high. So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never, like earth’s proud empires, pass away: Thy kingdom stands, and grows forever, ’till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.”
“What a fellowship, what a joy divine, leaning on the everlasting arms; what a blessedness, what a peace is mine, leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.”
“Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, leaning on the everlasting arms; Oh, how bright the path grows from day to day, leaning on the everlasting arms. Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms, leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms. What have I to dread, what have I to fear, leaning on the everlasting arms; I have blessed peace with my Lord so near, leaning on the everlasting arms. leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms; leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.”
“Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart feel lonely, and long for heaven and home? When Jesus is my portion, a constant friend is He, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches over me. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”
“I sing because I’m happy! I sing because I’m free! His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches, I know He watches, I know He watches me. That’s why I sing because I’m happy, Oooooooh, I sing because I’m free, Oooooooh, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” Thank You, Lord!
“This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through, my treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue; the angels beckon me from heaven’s open door, and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.”
“Oh Lord, you know, I have no friend like you, if heaven’s not my home, then Lord what will I do. The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door, and I can’t feel at home, in this world anymore. Just over in Gloryland, we’ll live eternally, the saints on every hand, are shouting victory. Their songs of sweetest praise, drift back from heaven’s shore, and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.”
“Where do I go from here? What fate is drawing near? Touch my heart and guide my lips in prayer. Through the grace of God alone, I’ll cast aside these fears I’ve known and lift myself from the depths of deep despair.”
“Please lead me through the darkness, and through each gloomy day; take my hand, oh, precious Lord,
and help me on my way. Give me strength that I might find, abiding faith and peace of mind,
and I won’t ask where do I go from here?” One of my sister’s favorites eh!
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High abides under the shadow of the Almighty.”
He who is under the shadow of the Almighty shall say to the Lord. You are my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I put my trust. “And because you have made the Lord your refuge and the Most High your habitation, there shall no evil happen to you, neither shall any plagues come near your dwelling, for he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all his ways. Psalm 91
