Sun of my soul

1) Sun of my soul my Saviour dear
It is not night if You are near
O may no earth born cloud arise
To hide You from Your servants eyes

2) When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep
Be my last thought how sweet to rest
For ever on my Saviours breast

3) Abide with me from morn to eve
For without You I cannot live
Abide with me when night is nigh
For without You I dare not die

4) If some poor wandering child of Yours
Have spurned today Your holy voice
Now Lord the gracious work begin
Let them no more be ruled by sin

5) Watch by the sick enrich the poor
With blessings from Your boundless store
Be every mourners sleep tonight
Like infants slumbers pure and light

6) Come near and bless us when we wake
Ere through the world our way we take
Till in the ocean of Your love
We lose ourselves in heaven above
