502   Sun of My Soul




[1]
Sun of my soul O Savior dear!
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant s eyes.

[2]
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!

[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 love
I lose myself in heaven above.
