Sun of My Soul
Verse 1
Sun of my soul, O 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.
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.
Verse 2
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought — how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour’s breast!
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought — how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour’s breast!
Verse 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.
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.
Verse 4
Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
A peaceful evening hymn reflecting on Christ's presence during the transition from day to night.
