ABIDE WITH ME
by Henry F. Lyte & William H. Monk

Abide with me! Fast falls the tide,
The darkness deepens---
Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail,
And comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh,
Abide with me.

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 changest not,
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,
Lord, abide with me.

JESUS, TENDER SHEPHARD, HEAR ME
by Mrs Charles Barnard (Claribel)

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless Thy little lamb tonight;
Thro' the darkness be Thou near me,
Keep me safe till morning light.

All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer.

Let my sins be all forgiven;
Bless my friends I love so well;
Take me, when I die, to heaven,
Happy there with Thee to dwell.

The poem "CLIMB" reminded me of this passage. King David, in his book of Psalms, also said it. There is a book called "Hinds' Feet on High Places," taken from this verse that was a great blessing to me.

Hab 3:19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' (deer) feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

Thanks again for your faithfulness to this thread, Oxbow! It's a blessing!

There's a wonderful sequel to Hinds Feet.... can't recall what it is called. I loved those books. Read them over and over. So encouraging and renewing. Sweet blessings.

Thank you for the reminder..........

When you are tempted to deny
God's goodness, love, and grace.
Look to the cross of Calvary,
Where Jesus took your place.

Try to bring God's love and kindness
Into someone's life today;
Even just the gift of caring
Will the Savior's love display.

Forgive me, Lord, for all my sins,
The many wrongs that I have done;
And show me how to make things right
Before the setting of the sun.

I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

Teach me to love, this is my prayer---
May compassion of Thy heart I share;
Ready a cup of water to give,
May I unselfishly for others live.

I've found a Friend, O such a friend.
He loved me ere I knew Him;
He drew me with the cords of love,
And thus He bound me to Him.

The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.

Chocolate, if you would do some heavy thinking and could remember the name of the sequel, I'd be eternally grateful to you!!

I had a lot of trouble getting into "Hinds' Feet." I threw it across the room several times before I could make up my mind to keep going and reach those "high places." Little Prayer Poems To Give you Strength To Face Another Day.

He is the Way, the Truth, the Life---
That One whose name is Jesus;
There is no other name on earth
That has the power to save us.

Lord, the newness of the day
Calls me to an untried way;
Let me gladly take the road,
Give me strength to bear my load.

Lamb of God. You now are seated
High upon Your Father's throne,
All Your gracious work completed,
All Your mighty victory known.

Loed, give me the courage to rise above fear,
Even of danger, because You are near;
I would be faithful to face any foe
While I am walking with You here below.

Though tragedy, heartache, and sorrow abound
And many a hardship in life will be found,
Just put all your trust in the Savior of light,
For He can bring hope in the darkest of night.

With longing all my heart is filled
That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell,
That Christ liveth in me.

The Master is seeking a harvest
In lives He's redeemed by His blood;
He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit,
And works that will glorify God.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
Far out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth again.

If we would know God's power to heal
And cleanse us from within,
We must acknowledge when we're wrong---
Confessing it as sin.

When other's give us compliments,
They are so easy to believe;
And though it's wise to take rebukes,
We find them harder to receive.

Just live your life before your Lord,
It matters not what others do---
Your actions will be weighted by Him
Who metes out judgement just and true.
