Sun of my soul, O Savior dear,
It is not night if your are near.
Oh, may no earth bore cloud arise
To hide you from your servant’s eyes.
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought how, safe from harm,
I rest within my Savior’s arm.
Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without you I cannot live;
Abide with me when night in nigh,
For without you I dare not die.
If some poor wandering child of God
Has spurned today your shepherd’s rod,
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Let him no more lie down in sin.
Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from your boundless store;
Be every mourner’s sleep tonight,
Like infant’s slumbers, pure and light.
Come near and bless us when we wake,
As through the world our way we take,
Till in the ocean of your love
We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen.
