Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #48 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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 Tho' destruction walk around us,
Tho' the arrows past us fly;
Angel-guards from Thee surround us,
We art safe if Thou art nigh.
3 Tho' the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou are He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 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.
