I close my heavy eye,
Saviour, ever near!
I lift my soul on high,
Through the darkness drear:
Be thou my light, I cry,
Saviour, ever dear!
I feel thine arms around,
Saviour, ‘ever near!
With thee if I am found,
Never can I fear,
Whatever ills abound;—
Saviour, ever dear!
Thine is the day and night,
Saviour, ever near!
Thine is the dark and light,
Be my covert here:
Oh, shield me with thy might,
Saviour, ever dear!
And when I come to die,
Saviour, ever near,
Receive my parting sigh;
In the hour of fear,
Be to my spirit nigh
Saviour, ever dear!
