O! sweet abode of peace and love,

Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest;

Had I the pinions of a dove,

I’d fly to thee and be at rest.

Kelly.

Sun of my soul! Thou Saviour dear,

It is not night if Thou be near:

Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise

To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.

Abide with me from morn till eve,
