My Song in the Night

My Song in the Night

1. O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night,

Come to us with Thy tender love, my soul’s delight.

Unto Thee, O Lord, in affliction I cry,

My comfort by day and my song in the night.

2. O why should I wander a stranger from Thee

Or cry in the desert, Thy face to see?

My comfort and joy, my soul’s delight—

O Jesus, my Savior, my song in the night.

3. Thy promise is sure; we are safe in Thy care.

Thou wilt help all God’s children their burdens to bear.

So to Thee I will look to be kept in the light,

And hold in remembrance my song in the night.
