                                  Text From:
                              THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL
                 (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941)



	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,
	Let me hear Thee softly speaking;
	In my spirit's ear
	Whisper, "I am near."

	3. Blessed, 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.
