Jesus lives! by this I know, From the grave He will re call me.

He lives, the might-y One, I know, Whose arm overcomes the

stron-gest foe, Who death and hell hath van quished.

4 Myself shall see Him in my flesh,
With all His glory bright;
His presence shall my heart refresh,
And fill my soul with light.
Myself shall ever on Him gaze,
Myself shall ever sound His praise,
Myself, and not another.

5 Rise then, my soul, e'en now, and live In hope's divine abode!

Let earth and Satan vainly strive
To tear thee from thy God.
The bier, the coffin, let them show
The grave, the gloom, the worm-
"I know

That my Redeemer liveth."

Georg Neumark, 1622–81

Abide with us, the day is waning, Thus prayed the two while on the way;

2

We read that Thou, O Lord, remaining, Didst all their doubts and fears allay.

Incline Thine ear, Thou King of grace, When, praying thus, we seek Thy face.

2 At eventide, Thy Spirit sending,

Help us, O Lord, our watch to keep,
In prayer devout, before Thee bending,
Ere we our eyelids close in sleep,
Confessing sin in deed and word,
With hope of mercy from the Lord.

3 Abide with us; with heavenly gladness
Illumine, Lord, our darkest day;
And when we weep in pain and sadness
Be Thou our solace, strength and stay;
Tell of Thy woe, Thy victory won,
When Thou didst pray: God's will be done.

4 Abide with us, O Savior tender,

That bitter day when life shall end,
When to the grave we must surrender,
And fear and pain our hearts shall rend;
The shield of faith do Thou bestow,
When trembling we must meet the foe.

5 When earthly help no more availeth,
To sup with us Thou wilt be nigh;
Thou givest strength that never faileth,
In Thee we grave and death defy:
While earth is fading from our sight,
Our eyes behold the realms of light.
