Sun of My Soul

1 Sun of my soul, Thou 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 the soft dews of kindly sleep  
My weary eyelids gently steep,  
Be my last tho't, 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 to bless me when I wake,  
Ere thro' the world my way I take;  
Abide with me till in Thy love  
I lose myself in heav'n above.
