LyicsSUN of my soul! thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
O 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 Saviour'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 heav'n above.
