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.
