The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5848

5848. Round Me Falls the Night

1. Round me falls the night;
Savior, be my light:
Through the hours in darkness shrouded
Let me see Thy face unclouded;
Let Thy glory shine
in this heart of mine.

2. Earthly work is done,
earthly sounds are none;
Rest in sleep and silence seeking,
Let my hear Thee softly speaking;
In my spirit’s ear
whisper I am near.

3. Darkened now each ray
o’er the traveler’s way;
Let me know that Thou hast found me,
Let me feel Thine arms around me,
Sure from every ill
Thou wilt guard me still.

4. Blessèd heavenly light,
shining through earth’s night;
Voice, that oft of love hast told me;
Arms, so strong to clasp and hold me;
Thou Thy watch wilt keep,
Savior, o’er my sleep.
