31 Sun of my soul
[V1]
Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!
It is not night if thou be near:
O may no earth-born arise
To hide thee from thy servants eyes
Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!
It is not night if thou be near:
O may no earth-born arise
To hide thee from thy servants eyes
[V2]
When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought-how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior’s breast!
When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought-how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior’s breast!
[V3]
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.
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.
[V4]
Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere thro` the world my way I take;
Till in the ocean of thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere thro` the world my way I take;
Till in the ocean of thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
