Round Me Falls the Night - #562

"Round Me Falls the Night"
by William Romanis, 1824-1899

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 me hear Thee softly speaking;
In my spirit's ear
Whisper, "I am near."

3. Blessed, 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.
