Savior, when night involves the skies

Verse 1

Saviour, when night involves the skies, My soul, adoring, turns to Thee; Thee, self-abased in mortal guise, And wrapt in shades of death for me.

Verse 2

On Thee my waking raptures dwell, When crimson gleams the east adorn, Thee, Victor of the grave and hell, Thee, Source of life's eternal morn.

Verse 3

When noon her throne in light arrays, To Thee my soul triumphant springs; Thee, throned in glory's endless blaze, Thee, Lord of lords and King of kings.

Verse 4

O'er earth, when shades of evening steal, To death and Thee my thoughts I give; To death, whose power I soon must feel, To Thee, with Whom I trust to live.
