Lyrics
Verse 1: 1. When moonlight falls across the floor, And guilt has troubled me, With pain from sin, Without, within, I rise to call on Thee. When night has come but sleep is gone, With hours to pass before the dawn, ‘Tho all the world may slumber on, I rise to call on Thee. I call, O Lord, on Thee.
Verse 2: When sickness robs my night of rest, When health and comfort flee, O, heaven’s throne, Where all is known, I rise to call on Thee. When night has come but sleep is gone, With hours to pass before the dawn, ‘Tho all the world may slumber on, I rise to call on Thee. I call, O Lord, on Thee.
Verse 3: When loved ones lost would break my heart, When lost in sin they be, For wisdom Thine, For help divine, I rise to call on Thee. When night has come but sleep is gone, With hours to pass before the dawn, ‘Tho all the world may slumber on, I rise to call on Thee. I call, O Lord, on Thee.
Verse 4: When grief has left me lone and sad, With tears my company, In firm belief, O, sweet relief, I rise to call on Thee When night has come but sleep is gone, With hours to pass before the dawn, ‘Tho all the world may slumber on, I rise to call on Thee. I call, O Lord, on Thee.
