Lord Jesus Christ Abide With Us CWB I 737

This is Jerome Leaman of St Joseph’s Abbey’s paraphrase of Mane nobiscum Domine set to OLD HUNDREDTH.

It is in CWB I and CBW III.

OLD HUNDREDTH is imprinted on my brain as the doxology sung every week in the Presbyterain church I grew up in. This is an ancient backing of mine:

1 Lord Jesus Christ, abide with us,

Now that the sun has run its course;

Let hope not be obscured by night,

But may faith’s darkness be as light.

2 Lord Jesus Christ, grant us your peace,

And when the trials of earth shall cease,

Grant us the morning light of grace,

The radiant splendour of your face.

3 Immortal, holy, three-fold light,

Yours be the kingdon, power and might;

All glory be eternally

To you, lifegiving Trinity.
