Hymn 18 – SUN of my soul, Thou Saviour dear | C&S English Hymnary

1. SUN of my soul, Thou Saviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near, Oh may no earthborn cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2. When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently sleep, Be my last thought, 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. If some poor wandering child or Thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine Now, Lord, the gracious work begin Let him no more lie down in sin. 5. Watch by the sick, enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store, Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers pure and light. 6. Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere thought the world our way we take Fill in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above AMEN
