Anglican Hymns Old and New (Rev. and Enl.) #644
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,
Jesus, let me hear you speaking;
"Neither fret nor fear;
I am always near."
3 Blessed, heavenly light,
shining through earth's night,
voice that oft of love has told me,
arms so strong to clasp and hold me—
careful watch now keep,
Savior, o'er my sleep.
