Within my heart a welcome guest...

Abide with Me; ’Tis Eventide

 Abide with me; ’tis eventide.
The day is past and gone;
The shadows of the evening fall;
The night is coming on.
Within my heart a welcome guest,
Within my home abide.

O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

 Abide with me; ’tis eventide.
Thy walk today with me
Has made my heart within me burn,
As I communed with thee.
Thy earnest words have filled my soul
And kept me near thy side.

 Abide with me; ’tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.

Luke 24:29-32

 29But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: 

for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. 

And he went in to tarry with them.

 30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them,

 he took bread, and blessed it, 

and brake, and gave to them.

 31And their eyes were opened, 

and they knew him; 

and he vanished out of their sight.

 32And they said one to another, 

Did not our ^aheart ^bburn within us, 

while he ^ctalked with us by the way,

 and while he opened to us the scriptures?

I testify, 

that I know my Savior lives.

I Feel My Savior's Love

I feel my Savior’s love

In all the world around me.

His Spirit warms my soul

Through ev’rything I see.

I feel my Savior’s love;

Its gentleness enfolds me,

And when I kneel to pray,

My heart is filled with peace.

 I feel my Savior’s love

And know that he will bless me.

I offer him my heart;

My shepherd he will be.

He knows I will follow him,

Give all my life to him.

I feel my Savior’s love,

The love he freely gives me.
