"Sun of my soul!"
Author: John Keble Appears in 1,440 hymnals Topics: Communion of Saints With Christ First Line: Sun of my soul! thou Saviour dear Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul! thou Saviour 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 soft the dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought--how sweet to rest
For ever 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 to bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world my way I take;
Abide with me till in thy love
I lose myself in heaven above. Scripture: Luke 24:29 Used With Tune: HURSLEY

And calls me back to care,
Each day returning to begin
With thee, my God, in prayer.

And evening calms the mind;
The setting, as the rising, sun
With thee my heart would find.
4 With thee, in thee, by faith
Abiding I would be;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with thee. Scripture: Psalm 139:18 Used With Tune: DENNIS

Naught escapes without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall for ever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then from thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

By thy grace alone we live.

May thy love our footsteps lead;
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with thee at last.

Fortastes of our joys above;
While their steps thy children bend
To the rest which knows no end. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR

From his dwelling-place above.

Sowing much and reaping none;
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvests shall be won.

O'er our pathway dark and drear;
Waking hope within our bosoms,
Stilling every anxious fear.
4 With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream--
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam. Scripture: Matthew 28:20 Used With Tune: WILMOT

All her hopes my spirit owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.

Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room,--
And canst thou, my tongue, be still?
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.

Then my Saviour's form I find
Brightly imaged on my mind.

Oft I think on Jesus' light;
Think how bright that light will be,
Shining through eternity.

This dark cloud in which I dwell,
And to me the power impart
To behold thee as thou art.

With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name,
Refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: HEBER
