Tune: | HURSLEY |
Composer: | Peter Ritter |
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.
2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour'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.
