Abide With Me
The following is a prayer sent from Margaret and Henk. It is a beautiful rendition of the hymn 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.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
"But 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." Luk.24:29 "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me." Jes.49:16 He is with you and shall be also with you till you are with Him! "and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words!" 1 Thes. 4:17,18 Warm regards from Holland
