|
<p>Savior, breathe an evening blessing<br>
|
|
Ere repose our spirits seal;<br>
|
|
Sin and want we come confessing:<br>
|
|
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.</p>
|
|
<p>Though destruction walk around us,<br>
|
|
Though the arrow past us fly,<br>
|
|
Angel guards from Thee surround us;<br>
|
|
We are safe if Thou art nigh.</p>
|
|
<p>Though the night be dark and dreary,<br>
|
|
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;<br>
|
|
Thou art He who, never weary,<br>
|
|
Watchest where Thy people be.</p>
|
|
<p>Should swift death this night o’ertake us,<br>
|
|
And our couch become our tomb,<br>
|
|
May the morn in heaven awake us,<br>
|
|
Clad in light and deathless bloom.</p>
|
|
<p>Father, to thy holy keeping<br>
|
|
Humbly we ourselves resign;<br>
|
|
Savior, who hast slept our sleeping,<br>
|
|
Make our slumbers pure as thine</p>
|
|
<p>Blessèd Spirit, brooding o’er us,<br>
|
|
Chase the darkness of our night,<br>
|
|
Till the perfect day before us<br>
|
|
Breaks in everlasting light.</p>
