\nSun of my soul, O Savior dear!
\nIt is not night if Thou be near;
\nO may no earth-born cloud arise
\nTo hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.<\/p>\n
2
\nWhen soft the dews of kindly sleep
\nMy weary eyelids gently steep,
\nBe my last thought how sweet to rest
\nForever on my Savior’s breast!<\/p>\n
3
\nAbide with me from morn till eve,
\nFor without Thee I cannot live;
\nAbide with me when night is nigh,
\nFor without Thee I dare not die.<\/p>\n

\nBe near and bless me when I wake,
\nEre through the world my way I take;
\nTill in the ocean of Thy love
\nI lose myself in heaven above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
