Sun of my soul, O Savior dear!

by John Keble

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 502.

Verse 1

Sun of my soul, O Savior 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 soft the dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior’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 my way I take; Till in the ocean of Thy love I lose myself in heaven above.
