Tune:[Sun of my soul! Thou Savior dear]
Arranger:Wm. H. Monk
Composer:P. Ritter

56. Sun Of My Soul!

1 Sun of my soul! Thou Savior dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, 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.
