My Song in the Night

Hymns for Home and Church (2027, 2024-preview), no. 1058

Arranger: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

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 TheeOr 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.
