1 verse:
Savior, breathe an evening blessing
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.
2 verse:
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 verse:
Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou are He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 verse:
Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in bright and deathless bloom Amen!
