Sun of My Soul, Thou Savior Dear
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,451 hymnals 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 wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Savior'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,
Abide with me till in Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
Amen.

Of Thy faithfulness to tell,
While with sweet, melodious praises
Songs of adoration swell.

Through the works Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my life victorious,
Great Thy works and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on high exalted,
Reignest evermore in might;
All Thine enemies shall perish,
Sin be banished from Thy sight.

Planted in Thy dwelling place,
Fruitful trees and ever verdant,
Nourished by Thy boundless grace.
In His goodness to the righteous
God His righteousness displays;
God, my rock, my strength and refuge,
Just and true are all His ways.

When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
