Prelude
Voluntary on Eventide (Hymn 8)
Hymn 8
Henry Francis Lyte, words
William H. Monk, music
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.
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, O 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.

Hymn 282
Author Unknown, words
H. Elliot Button, music
Praise the Lord, ye heavens, adore Him;
Praise Him, angels, in the height;
Sun and moon, rejoice before Him,
Praise Him, all ye stars of light;
Praise the Lord, for He hath spoken,
Worlds His mighty voice obeyed;
Laws that never shall be broken
For their guidance hath He made.
Praise the Lord, for He is glorious;
Never shall His promise fail;
God hath made His saints victorious,
Sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation;
Hosts on high, His power proclaim;
Heaven and earth, and all creation,
Laud and magnify His name.

Hymn 590
Ruth Duck, alt., words
Edwin R. Taylor, music
To God compose a song of joy;
To God make melody,
Whose arm of strength does wondrous things,
Whose hand brings victory!
Before the nations God reveals
A just and righteous will,
With steadfast love and faithfulness
God loves all people still.
In every corner of the earth,
God comes to save and free;
Break forth with shouts of holy joy;
All lands, make melody.
Let seas in all their fullness roar;
Sing, people of all lands;
Let mountains join and shout for joy;
Let rivers clap their hands.
The God of justice comes to save;
Let earth make melody;
For God will judge with righteousness
And rule with equity.
