Text: | Saviour, Breathe an Evening Blessing |
Author: | James Edmeston |
St. 4: | Godfrey Thring |
Tune: | EVENING PRAYER (STEBBINS) |
Composer: | George Coles Stebbins |
1 Saviour, 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 arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He, who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.
4 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.
Amen.
