Round me falls the night
|
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. 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." 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, Saviour, o'er my sleep. |
Cincto tenebris lux, Salvator, sis; videatur nocte plena tua facies serena; sitque interior tuus hic nitor. Nullus est sonus; actumst omne opus; sine requiem petentem dulce audire te loquentem: cordi dic meo "adsum hic ego." Lux caelestis et cui nox locum det, Vox amoris praedicator, Brachiumque sustentator, dormientem me vigilans tene. |
