502. 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 me hear Thee softly speaking;
To my spirit here
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.

Amen.
