ABIDE WITH US, DEAR PRINCE OF PEACE

Don Fortner

(Tune: The Doxology LM)

O Christ, our Hope, our Strength, our God,

You have redeemed us by Your blood;

Through You alone we're saved from sin;

You've proved Yourself the sinner's Friend!

Often when gathered in this place,

You've come with tokens of Your grace,

And blessed the preaching of Your Word,

O come again, beloved Lord!

Enter our hearts and show Your face;

Abide with us, dear Prince of Peace;

Come now and make each heart Your own,

Your house, Your temple and Your throne!

Keep us from grieving You with sin,

Subdue our lusts and reign within;

Abide with us for evermore;

Make us abide in You, our Lord!
