Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear
1
Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!It is not night if thou be near:O may no earth-born cloud ariseTo hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
2
When soft the dews of kindly sleepMy weary eyelids gently steep,Be my last thought—how sweet to restForever on my Saviour's breast!
3
Abide with me from morn till eve,For without thee I cannot live;Abide with me when night is nigh,For without thee I dare not die.
4
Be near and bless me when I wake,Ere through the world my way I take;Till in the ocean of thy loveI lose myself in heaven above.
