Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear

Sun of my soul

Thou Savior dear

It is not night if Thou be near;

Oh

may no earthborn cloud arise

To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.

When the soft dews of kindly sleep

My wearied eyelids gently steep

Be my last thought how sweet to rest

Forever on my Savior’s breast.

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.

Come near

and bless us when we wake

Ere through the world our way we take;

Till in the ocean of Thy love

We lose ourselves in Thee above.
