Saviour, breathe an evening blessing

Author: James Edmeston; Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 847 hymnals 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. Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from thee surround us; We are safe, if thou art nigh. Be thou nigh, should death o'ertake us; Jesus, then our refuge be, And in Paradise awake us, There to rest in peace with thee. Father, to thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign; Savior, who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as thine; Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us, Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: VESPER HYMN

See the Paraclete Descending

Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Paraclete descending, Burning with celestial fire; Grace and truth on him attending, Men with heav'nly love inspire. Chorus: Let us, Allleluias singing, Offer Him our grateful lays. He all heav'nly graces bringing, Merits everlasting praise. 3 Men in every danger fearing, Now the greatest dangers scorn; Amidst tortures persevering, Show themselves in Christ new-born. [Chorus] 4 Fishermen, by Thee instructed, Jesus, to the world proclaim; Infants, by Thy grace conducted, Rather die than slight His name. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [See the Paraclete descending]
