This a traditional Lutheran Christian Hymn sung as a four-part acappella male choir arrangement. Sending songs are sung at the end of the church service, encouraging us to go out and do God's work. As the cross processes out of the sanctuary, we follow Christ's example to serve the sick and poor. Use this music for sight reading practice, hymn sings, easy listening, sheet music for accompaniment, worship services, choir practice, church events, and religious sacred music study! The hymns were composed and lyricized by masters much more skilled than myself, but it is my voice on all vocal parts. My hope is that the accessibility of these traditional hymns will bring you enjoyment, inspiration, and also arm you with a practical resource in your musical journey. S. D. G.!

LYRICS:
Abide, O dearest Jesus
Among us with your grace
That evil may not harm us
Nor we to sin give place
Abide, O dear Redeemer
Among us with your word
And thus now and hereafter
True peace and joy afford
Abide with heav'nly brightness
Among us, precious Light
Your truth direct and keep us
From error's gloomy night
Abide with richest blessings
Among us, bounteous Lord
Let us in grace and wisdom
Grow daily through your word
Abide, O faithful Savior
Among us with your love
Grant steadfastness and help us
To reach our home above
