Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #558 (1974) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Hymnal Title: Hymns for the Living Church Lyrics: 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 arrows 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 The people be.
4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heav'n awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen. Topics: Evening hymns Scripture: Psalm 91:5 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER
