Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Hymnbook #54 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 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 Though destruction walk around us,
Though 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 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen. Topics: Christ Strength and Refuge; Evening; Life Everlasting, The; Worship Evening Scripture: Psalm 91:11-12 Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER (Stebbins)
