Come all people look and wonder
What the Lord our God has done!
Praise His everlasting power,
Which was shown through Christ His Son.
Sing His praises!  Sing His praises!
Lord we ever worship Thee!
Lord we ever worship Thee!

Praise the Lord, ye sinful people,
Let His love light up your soul.
Let His warmth fill you with compassion;
Feel His power that makes you whole.
Sing His praises! Sing His praises!
Let us live with Thee on high!
Let us live with Thee on high!

Trust in Christ our only Savior;
Marvel at His wondrous deeds!
He, who died for our offences,
Provides now our every need.
Sing His praises! Sing His praises!
Lord we ever trust in Thee!
Lord we ever trust in Thee!


Abide with me fast falls the eventide.

Couldn't help but wonder what the melody is to this lovely praise hymn.

The tune I wrote this to is Cwm Rhondda (the tune for "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah).

That's how I write all my poems I write all my poems/hymns.  I pick a popular tune, such as Cwm Rhondda, and write words to the tune. Either it be in 7's and 6's, 8's and 6's I'll try really any meter.

Abide with me fast falls the eventide.
