When Nighttime Falls

When nighttime falls, and skies dark gray Replace the sunset’s lustrous spray I’ll seek a place where I can hide In You, my El, shall I confide When nighttime falls, I know the best Of rocks, where I can find my rest Our Rock of Ages, full of grace Will tuck me into His embrace When nighttime falls, and weak am I In Your strong arms I’ll gladly lie I know Your rest will make me whole Your hope will satisfy my soul When nighttime falls, I’ll wait to hear Your soothing voice, forever near You speak to me, and give me peace And make my doubts and worries cease When nighttime falls, and all I see Is night and fog surrounding me I’ll lean on Him–His love and grace His shelter is my resting place When nighttime falls, I’ll sing a song Of joy and hope, of morning’s dawn Night’s plague or arrow shan’t I fear I know that He’s forever near When nighttime falls, then I shall sing The faithfulness of Yah my King He’s never failed; He never will In hours dark, He cheers me still When nighttime falls, I know that He Shall never take His eyes off me When I’m asleep, He’s still awake And watching every breath I take When nighttime falls, I know He’ll be As faithful as the dawn for me Though sorrow lasts throughout the night Great joy will come at morning light When nighttime falls, You are my light Your brightness breaks the darkest night When I lie down, I pray my eyes Shall see Your face when I arise
