CH1941, Hymn #321

Verse 1
Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!
It is not night if Thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.

Verse 2
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought—how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour’s breast!

Verse 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.

Verse 4
Be near and bless me when I wake,
Ere through the world our way we take;
Till in the ocean of Thy love
I lose myself in heaven above.
