Sun of my soul, thou Savior dearJohn Keble, 1820
*Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear,*
*it is not night if thou be near;O may no earthborn cloud ariseto hide thee
from thy servant's eyes. When the soft dews of kindly sleepmy wearied
eyelids gently steep,be my last thought, how sweet to restforever on my
Savior's breast. 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. If
some poor wandering child of thinehas spurned today the voice divine,now,
Lord, the gracious work begin;let him no more lie down in sin. Watch by the
sick, enrich the poorwith blessings from thy boundless store;be every
mourner's sleep tonight,like infants' slumbers, pure and right. Come near
and bless us when we wake,ere through the world our way we take,till in the
ocean of thy lovewe lose ourselves in heaven above.*
