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.

I met him on the weekly Sunday 3hr evening 2014-15 radio show thread, "Gun Talk", sub-posted the thread for him while he was going thru some employment and health issues, and haven't seen him around FR in a while. We had a good time doing it, with our FRiends here.

RIP, mylife, old FRiend.

Rest In Peace, Our Dear FRiend
Our hearts break at your loss....
Now all we have are the joyful memories
with you and our FRiends,
some of whom are now also gone.

Saddened to hear mylife has passed. Enjoyed our exchanges over the years. Always found him to be a likeable and amiable guy.

[luvie]

We all loved him. He is missed already. :(

My Life “Rod” was my friend. He was a member of the “The Texas Cowboy Shoots “El Roy.” I met My Life at a shoot down in Port Aransas organized by “The Mom.” We became good friends over many years of the shoots. We often shared a motel room at the shoots. He snores like a damn chain saw but fortunately I just take out my hearing aids and all is good.

My life was a 100% conservative patriot. He was Navy on nuclear subs. He was sonar if I recall correctly. He also organized a couple of Texas Cowboy Shoots up near Dallas in Segoaville. They were a great success and enjoyed by all.

If there every was a man to have your back when he was young and strong, My Life is the man. He is not my brother by blood but he is my brother in life.

The last couple of years have been tough on My Life due to his progressive lung disease.

We love you My Life. You are in a better place today. I will see you later my friend.

cpdiii (The Cook) after El Roys also sad passing years ago.
