Sun of My Soul, Thou Savior Dear

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,436 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:29 Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, Thou Savior dear, It is not night if Thou be near. Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes. 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought how sweet to rest Forever on my Savior's breast. 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. 4 If some poor wand'ring child of Thine Has spurned today the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin; Let him no more lie down in sin. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store; Be every mourner's sleep tonight, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Used With Tune: HURSLEY

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:51 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To His heavenly palace gate! Hark! The choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds of God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne, Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen.
