LyicsSun of my soul! thou Savior dear,
It is not night if thou be near:
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes!
When soft the 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 can not live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without thee I dare not die.
Be near to bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world my way I take;
Abide with me till in thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
