Sun of My Soul, Thou Saviour Dear

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,444 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 28:11 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; O may no earthborn cloud 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 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 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight, Like infants' slumbers, pure and light. 5 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen. Topics: Commitment; Evening; God Protection; Worship Evening Used With Tune: HURSLEY
