Author: Keble Hymnal: Calvary Songs #43b (1875) Publication Date: 1875 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 wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last tho't,—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. Languages: English Tune Title: [Sun of my soul! thou Saviour dear]
