Saviour, Beathe An Evening Blessing Hymn Lyrics

1

Saviour, 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 fiy ;

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 !
