Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing
VERSE 1
Savior,
breathe an evening blessing
Ere
repose our spirits seal;
Sin and
want we come confessing:
Thou
canst save, and Thou canst heal.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 3
Though
the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness
cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art
He who, never weary,
Watchest
where Thy people be.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 5
Father,
to thy holy keeping
Humbly
we ourselves resign;
Savior,
who hast slept our sleeping,
Make our
slumbers pure as thine
VERSE 6
Blessed
Spirit, brooding o’er us,
Chase
the darkness of our night,
Till the
perfect day before us
Breaks
in everlasting light.
