Unto Thy Temple, Lord, We Come
Author: Robert Colyer, 1823-1912 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Meditation Lyrics: 1 Unto thy temple, Lord, we come
with thankful hearts to worship thee;
and pray that this may be our home
until we touch eternity:
2 The common home of rich and poor,
of bond and free, and great and small;
large as thy love forevermore,
and warm and bright and good to all.
3 May thy whole truth be spoken here;
thy gospel light for ever shine;
thy perfect love cast out all fear,
and human life become divine. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,672 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Meditation First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; still with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
2 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 changes not, abide with me.
3 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.

Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena, d. c. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-1890 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Meditation Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardor glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let its glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 And so the glory strong,
for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Again, as Evening's Shadow Falls
Author: Samuel Longfellow, 1819-1892 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 162 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Meditation Lyrics: 1 Again, as evening's shadow falls,
we gather in these hallowed walls;
and vesper hymn and vesper prayer
rise mingling on the holy air.
2 May struggling hearts that seek release
here find the rest of God's own peace:
and, strengthened here by hymn and prayer,
lay down the burden and the care.
3 Life's tumult we must meet again;
we cannot at the shrine remain;
but in the spirit's secret cell
may hymn and prayer forever dwell.

through clouds of doubt and fear,

lead on, I follow thee.
2 I know thy blessed radiance
can never lead astray,
though ancient creed and custom
may point another way;
or through the untrod desert,
or over trackless sea,
though I be lone and weary,
lead on, I follow thee.
