Tune:[Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear]

46. 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 Abide with me from morn 'til eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when dark is near,
And with Your love cast out all fear.

3 Be near to bless me when I wake,
As thru the world my way I take;
Abide with me 'til in Thy love
I lose myself, in heaven above.
