49 ~ Saviour, Breathe an Evening Blessing
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 the night be dark and dreary, Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be.
3
Though destruction walk around us. Though the arrow past us fly, Angel guards from Thee Surround us, We are safe if Thou art nigh.
4
Should swift death this night o’re-take us, And our couch become our tomb, May the morn of glory wake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom.
