Lyrics

Savior, breathe an evening blessing
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.
Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee.
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
Savior, breathe an evening blessing
Ere repose our spirits seal.

Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
Should swift death this night o’ertake us
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heav’n awake us,
Clad in bright and deathless bloom.
Savior, breathe an evening blesssing,
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
