All Thru the Night

lyricist: Melvia Booker, 1918
Composer: Welsh melody

Jesus Christ my Lord will keep me

All thru the night

By His coun­sel guide and lead me

All thru the night;

Night of sin and death and sor­row;

He will keep till dawns the mor­row;

From this world I need not bor­row

All thru the night.

Darker grow the sha­dows round me

Dark is the night;

Snares of Sa­tan oft sur­round me

Dark is the night.

But my path­way Je­sus bright­ens

Every hea­vy bur­den light­ens;

Nothing moves me

no­thing fright­ens

Tho’ dark the night.

Hark! a so­lemn voice is sound­ing

All thru the night;

’Tis the voice of God re­sound­ing

All thru the night;

Telling of the pre­pa­ra­tion

Needed by earth’s ev­ery na­tion

To es­cape the tri­bu­la­tion

Earth’s dark­est night.

Sun of right­eous­ness ap­pear­ing

He’ll end the night;

I can see the day is near­ing

When ends the night

Sleeping saints will rise all glo­ri­ous

Raptured

too

will swell the chor­us;

Earth will crown my king vic­tor­ious

Thus ends the night.
