Wartburg Hymnal ‎#68

68. Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear

1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earthborn child arise,
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied 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 to 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.
