196. Evening Blessing

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' the night be dark and dreaery,
Darkness can not hide from thee;
Thou art he who, never weary,
Watchest where thy people be.

3 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And command us to the tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in bright, eternal bloom.
