"Round Me Falls the Night" by William Romanis, 1824-1899 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. _______________________________________ Notes: Hymn #562 from _The Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Ps. 141:2 Author: William Romanis,1903 Composer: Adam Drese, 1697 Tune: "Seelenbraeutigam" ______________________________________________________________ This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Debbie Harris and is in the public domain.
