Abide with me

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 …

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me; I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. …

Nearer, my God, to thee

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee.

E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me.

Still all my song shall be nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee.


Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,

Darkness be over me, my rest a stone,

Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee.


There let the way appear, steps unto heav’n;

All that thou sendest me, in mercy giv’n;

Angels to beckon me, nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee.

Sweet Heart of Jesus

1.Sweet Heart of Jesus, font of love and mercy,
Today we come, thy blessing to implore.
Oh touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful
And make them Lord, thine own for evermore.

Sweet Heart of Jesus we implore,
Oh make us love Thee more and more.

2.Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us pure and gentle
And teach us how to do thy blessed will;
To follow close the print of thy dear footsteps
And when we fall, Sweet Heart, oh love us still.

3.Sweet heart of Jesus, make us know and love thee,
Unfold to us the treasures of thy grace;
That so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted,
May long alone to gaze upon thy face.
