- 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. - 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! - 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. - 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.
