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.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, 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 and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, 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.

[Psalm 73]

Thank you "Kathy in Alaska", and peace to "mylife", prayers for his family and friends.

Freepers - you should have at least one other Freeper that knows your (real) name and contact info (phone, email, home address, next of kin).

[NFHale]

Rest in peace mylife. Thanks for being a friend.

[PGalt]

Condolences to family and friends on mylife. R.I.P., sir.

[FlyingEagle]

May the soul of mylife, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

[The Mayor]

Oh no....... Oh so sad

[Thank You Rush]

That was beautifully done...A great tribute to a FReeper and a Patriot! “gone home” is my favorite way of announcing someone’s passing.

I could not have said it any better. I am honored to have known him as a FRiend, both here and in person. Rod had an eclectic style and knowledge of many subjects, especially food, lol.

Fair winds & following seas, my brother.

[princeofdarkness]

God’s speed mylife. RIP

Does anyone have a link to Rod’s obituary?

Tried to look it up, no luck so far. I know he had a son and his mom was still kicking.

I’ve missed him since he moved back to OH.

We had some good times at the river with our ARs, breakfast at The Cotton Gin, even went to see music and eat some great BBQ up in Greenville. He had a very keen knowledge of music. I’m just a hillbilly blues rock kind of dude. Turned me on to bands I never heard of.

God Speed Bud.

[waterhill]

May be a little early.

[luvie]

It was a shock even though we knew his health was getting worse. He is missed and loved.

[nutmeg]

Oh no! I've had many chats with mylife over the years. Sad news.

Rest in Peace, dear mylife....

Carriage Hill: I'm sure mylife was a regular on your Rush Limbaugh threads over the years.

[luvie]

It hasn’t been produced yet. I think we’ll be notified when it’s available. Just keep praying for his son and his brother, mother and other members of his family. Mylife was loved.

[luvie]

Boy! Did that man love his food....and loved to cook! I watched him and MS.BEHAVIN having tons of fun making meals together.

[silent_jonny]

Wow ... I was just thinking about him. I didn't even know him, but I noticed his absence on FR. It's amazing the impact we can have on each other, and we'll never know how much--at least not on this side of Heaven.

May your body rest as your soul rejoices, Mylife.

[silent_jonny]

I'm sorry, Luv.

Thank you for sharing these nice pics.

[smokingfrog]

For sure!
