The night shrouds the cold sky in starry splendour.
As the shadows fall.
The Lords sweet angels singing oh so tender.
With the masters call.

I close my eyes as I calm my troubled mind.
Yet I shed no tear.
For in the darkness it is you that I find.
I can feel you near.

Before I drift to sleep to you I will pray.
My humble request.
Between now and the breaking of a new day.
My sleep is blessed.

I will dream of that distant celestial shore.
A place of wonder.
Where I will live in delight for evermore.
With Christ my Saviour.
