Author: Rev. John Keble Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #50 (1929) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Sun of my soul! Thou Savior dear Lyrics: 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 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 If some poor wand'ring child of Thine
Have spurned today the voice divine,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
4 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.
5 Be near to bless me when I wake,
Ere thro' the world my way I take;
Abide with me till in Thy love
I find myself in heav'n above.
Amen. Topics: God In Nature Evening Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY
