Hymn #370, tune written by A.Y.
Guitar, percussion | Mark H. (https://soundcloud.com/qsgwdfcplmnc)

1
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, oh, abide with me.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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, oh, abide with me.
5
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.

Abide with Me, Fast Falls the Eventide (new tune, instrumental)

O Lord, Thy boundless love to me (instrumental)

I Will Call on You (piano)

If We Have the Lord's Presence (instrumental remix, with C.H.)

This hymn conveys our experience that we may not understand why we are passing through trails, disappointments, and persecutions. However, there will be a time when all will be made clear, the time of our Lord Jesus's second coming.

Steal Me Away

In the darkness of the night,
Sailing on a stormy ocean,
With no hope or peace in sight,
On a churning, gloomy sea.
Amidst the wind and waves, what do I see?
It’s a Man who walks above the waves to me.
And He said,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Let Me in—
To your boat, I’ll calm the waves.
I can be in you
A harbor, warm and safe.
Just open up your heart.
I am the way.”

All the troubles in my life
Make me feel like I’m surrounded,
Countless problems, pain, and strife,
Come to rob my soul of peace.
I’m worn and weary fighting off the grief.
Is there no one who my suffering can relieve?
The Lord says,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Let Me in—
To your boat, I’ll calm the waves.
I can be in you
A harbor, warm and safe.
Just open up your heart.
I am the way.”

Jesus is the Son of God,
Come as man, full of compassion.
Crucified upon a cross,
He bore all your sins away.
His life subdues the power of the grave.
Will you let Him soothe your aching heart today?
Then He’ll say,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Just believe,
Call My name and you’ll be saved.”
Oh Lord Jesus,
You’re the One I need today.
I let You in my heart,
Come in to stay.

The source provides an overview of Evidence-Based Design (EBD), defining it as an approach that uses empirical data and research to inform design decisions. EBD originated from fields like environmental psychology and evidence-based medicine, and its methodology focuses on applying research knowledge to specific design projects. While initially prominent in health care architecture to improve patient well-being, the practice has expanded to other sectors such as retail, education, and workplace environments, where goals shift to outcomes like increased sales or enhanced student engagement. The text also notes a growing trend toward professional adoption and training, highlighting organizations like the Center for Health Design which provide accreditation programs to validate expertise in this field. Finally, the material offers examples illustrating how EBD principles have led to demonstrable improvements across various building types, including better patient outcomes and increased retail sales.

The study outlines the critical role of risk management and insurance in the construction industry, noting that litigation is frequent due to conflicts like contract disputes and negligence claims. It explains that insurance, such as general liability and builder’s risk policies, is fundamental for financial protection against legal actions, with costs varying based on contractor experience. The study emphasizes that increased involvement of architects and the use of the design-build model can significantly reduce errors, conflicts, and subsequent litigation, which is favored by insurance companies. Finally, it addresses specific types of coverage, including professional liability insurance for architects, which is crucial given their vulnerability as targets in "deep pockets" lawsuits.
