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.

Thanks for the photo credit. I couldn’t for the life of me remember who took it.

Rod will be missed for sure.

JUST GOT THIS UPDATE:
>>>>From ozaukeemom | 11/30/2023 5:15:23 PM PST replied
Hello;
I have been told that there will be a memorial service for Rodney, likely in January. The regular pastor/minister is not there temporarily and they want him to preside. I have not seen an obituary.
His son is planning on going down for the service. It has been a rough week for him. I am sad he did not get to see him.
Anything I can answer, I will. But, I am not really privy to much. I am just glad he is not suffering any longer.
Thank you for helping share with the Freepers. He had so many friends here and he thought of FR as a home.<<<<

This is what we know about services as of now. ozaukeemom is trying to find out which church the memorial will be held in:

“The memorial service will be December 17. I know the church is in Canfield Ohio.”

Keep praying for strength, comfort and courage for his grieving family, y’all. Our mylife is missed so much!

Thanks, Rita! We were good friends and went on a lot of trips together with “our” group. He was a hoot and a wonderful navy sub vet.
