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 come to the garden alone, While the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there,... Read More

Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven. Like the first dewfall on the first grass. Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung... Read More
