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.

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.

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.

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.
