Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#237

237. Round me falls the night

1 Round me falls the night;
Saviour, 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.' A-men.

3 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,
Saviour, o’er my sleep.

Amen.
