Letra adaptada:

I need Thee every hour

Most gracious Lord

No tender voice like Thine

Can peace afford

I need Thee, O I need Thee

Every hour I need Thee

O bless me now, my Savior

I come to Thee.

I need Thee, O I need Thee

Every hour I need Thee

O bless me now, my Savior

I come to Thee.

I Need Thee Every Hour

Letra: Annie Sherwood Hawks; Música: Robert Lowry

 

Annie Sherwood Hawks (1836-1918), poeta y autora de himnos religiosos, compuso muchos de estos junto con el pastor evangélico Robert Lowry (1826-1899), a quien conoció en la Hanson Place Baptist Church de Brooklyn. Contribuyó significativamente en el himnario de la Escuela Dominical protestante, y escribió las letras de un buen número de conocidos himnos, como "Thine, Most Gracious Lord"; "Why Weepest Thou? Who Seekest Thou?"; "Full and Free Salvation", "My Soul Is Anchored", si bien el más recordado de ellos es “I Need Thee Every Hour” ("Te necesito cada hora"), escrito en 1872, donde expresa su profunda relación e intimidad con el Señor.

La canción fue utilizada por Ira Sankey en la National Baptist Sunday School Association Convention de 1872, y posteriormente se incluyó en la colección "Royal Diadem" (1873), editada por Lowry y William Doane para la Escuela Dominical.

Letra adaptada:

It was the eve of Christmas,

The snow lay deep and white,

I sat beside my window,

and look´d into the night,

I heard the church bells ringing,

I saw the bright stars shine,

And childhood came again to me,

With all its dreams divine.

Then, as I list´ned to the bells,

And watch´d the skies afar,

Out of the East majestical

There rose one radiant star,

And ev´ry other star grew pale

Before that heav´nly glow,

It seem´d to bid me follow,

And I could not choose but go.

It was the star, the star of Bethlehem

had led me up to God,

The star, the star,

had led me up to God.

The Star of Bethlehem

Letra: F.E. Weatherly; Música: Stephen Adams

Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), abogado y autor británico, escribió la letra de al menos 3.000 canciones populares, entre las más conocidas se encuentran la balada sentimental "Danny Boy" (que se canta con la melodía "Londonderry Air"), el tema religioso "The Holy City" y la bélica "Roses of Picardy".

Letra:

It was the eve of Christmas, 

The snow lay deep and white,

I sat beside my window, 

and look´d into the night,

I heard the church bells ringing,

I saw the bright stars shine,

And childhood came again to me,

With all its dreams divine.

Then, as I list´ned to the bells,

And watch´d the skies afar,

Out of the East majestical 

There rose one radiant star,

And ev´ry other star grew pale

Before that heav´nly glow,

It seem´d to bid me follow,

And I could not choose but go.

It seem´d to bid me follow,

And I could not choose but go.

From street to street it led me, 

by many a mansion fair,

It shone thro´dingy casement on

many a garret bare;

From highway on to highway,

thro´ alleys dark and cold, 

And where it shone the darkness 

was flooded all with gold.

Sad hearts forgot their sorrow,

Rough hearts grew soft and mild,

And weary little children turn´d 

in their sleep and smil´d;

While many a homeless wanderer 

uplifted patient eyes

Seeming to see a home at last 

beyond those starry skies.

Seeming to see a home at last 

beyond those starry skies.

And then methought earth faded,

I rose as borne on wings,

Beyond the waste of ruined lives,

the press of human things;

Above the toil and shadow,

Above the want and woe,

My old self and its darkness

seem´d left on earth below,

And onward upward shone the star,

until it seem´d to me,

It flash´d upon the golden gate,

And o´er the crystal sea;

And then the gates roll´d backward,

I stood where Angels trod;

It was the star, the star of Bethlehem

had led me up to God, 

The star, the star,

had led me up to God.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;

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.

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.

Abide With Me

Himno cristiano del compositor escocés Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847). Una oración para rogar a Dios que permanezca a nuestro lado durante toda la vida, y no nos abandone en la hora de nuestra muerte. Escrita por Lyte en 1847, cuando se estaba muriendo de tuberculosis, la mayoría de las veces se canta con la melodía "Eventide" del organista inglés William Henry Monk (1823-1889).

El primer verso alude a un pasaje de Lucas (24:29), "Quédate con nosotros, porque es tarde y el día está avanzado", y el penúltimo versículo se basa en el texto de 1 Corintios (15:55), "Oh muerte, ¿dónde está tu aguijón? Oh sepulcro, ¿dónde está tu victoria?".

Letra:

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 terror, 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.

Letra adaptada:

In the western state of Arizona,

Lived an Indian maid;

She was called the beautiful Anona so 'tis said.

Graceful as a fawn was she,

Just as sweet as she could be,

Eyes so bright, dark as night,

Had this pretty little Arizona Indian maiden.

All the chiefs who knew her,

Came to woo her,

For her pined

To marry she declined,

At last she changed her mind,

But 'twas not a chief so grand, who won her heart and hand,

But a warrior bold, who wooed her with a song:

Chorus:

My sweet Anona, in Arizona,

There is no other maid I'd serenade;

By camp-fires gleaming, of you I'm dreaming,

Anona, my sweet Indian maid.

My sweet Anona, in Arizona,

There is no other maid I'd serenade;

By camp-fires gleaming, of you I'm dreaming,

Anona, my sweet Indian maid.

Letra y Música Mabel McKinley, as Vivian Grey

(Leo Feist, New York, 1903)

Escrita supuestamente por Mabel McKinley, sobrina de William McKinley, con el pseudónimo de Vivian Gray, en realidad es un tema compuesto por el prolífico Robert Keizer King (1862-1932), que solía utilizar sobrenombres femeninos como el de Mary Earl, o Betty Chapin, entre otros.

Letra:

In the western state of Arizona,

Lived an Indian maid;

She was called the beautiful Anona so 'tis said.

Graceful as a fawn was she,

Just as sweet as she could be,

Eyes so bright, dark as night,

Had this pretty little Arizona Indian maiden.

All the chiefs who knew her,

But 'twas not a chief so grand, who won her heart and hand,

Chorus:

My sweet Anona, in Arizona,

There is no other maid I'd serenade;

By camp-fires gleaming, of you I'm dreaming,

Anona, my sweet Indian maid.

When her father heard that his Anona,

Loved the youthful brave;

Straight-a-way he said he would disown her, things looked grave.

She must marry "heap big chief,"

Sweet Anona hid her grief,

Ran away, so they say,

And got married to the man she loved without delaying.

Then her father sought he,

Never caught her,

Till one day,

When two years passed away,

They both came back ot stay,

Then the chief declared a truce, when they named their young papoose,

After him and to his grand-child he would sing.

But her heart is filled with sorrow, and her thoughts are of the morrow,

As she pins a rose up on his coat of blue.

"Do not ask me, love, to linger, for you know not what you say,

When my duty calls, my sweetheart´s voice is vain,

But your need not be sighing, If I´m not among the dying,

I´ll be with you when the roses bloom again".
