Round Me Falls the Night

William Romanis (1878) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 4:8

Verse 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.

Verse 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."

Verse 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.
