L. M.

Abide with us; for it is toward evening.
Luke 24:29.

Sun of my soul! thou Saviour dear,

It is not night if thou be near:

O, may no earth-born cloud arise

To hide thee from thy servant’s eyes!

2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep

My wearied eyelids gently steep,

Be my last thought—how sweet to rest
