Text: | Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing |
Author: | James Edmeston |
Tune: | EVENING PRAYER |
Composer: | George C. Stebbins |
1 Savior, breathe an evening blessing
Ere repose our spirits seal.
Sin and want we come confessing:
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 Should swift death this night o’ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen.
