Text:Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

11. Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear

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 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.

3 Watch by the sick: enrich the poor
With blessings from thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night
Like infant slumbers, pure and light.

4 Come near and bless us when we wake,
Ere through the world our way we take,
Till in the ocean of thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.
