And make our luke-warm hearts to glow With low-ly love and fer - vent will;

Thro' life's long day and death's dark night, O gen-tle Je - sus, be

our light. A-men.

little day;

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories | pass away,
Change and decay in all a- | round I see;

O Thou who changest not, a- | bide 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, a- | bide 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 a- | bide 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, a- | bide with me.

(Second Tune)

Amen.

3 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrows past us fly,
Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.

5 Father, to Thy holy keeping
Humbly we ourselves resign.
Saviour, Who hast slept our sleeping,
Make our slumbers pure as Thine.

4 Be Thou nigh, should death o'ertake us; 6 Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us,
Jesus then our refuge be,

And in Paradise awake us,

Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us

Breaks in everlasting light. Amen. JAMES EDMESTON and EDWARD H. BICKERSTETH

Je-sus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee.

2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes,

Us and ours preserve from dangers;
In Thine arms may we repose;

And, when life's short day is past,

Rest with Thee in heaven at last. Amen.
