Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: Favorite Hymns of Praise #190 (1967) Lyrics: 1 Savior, breath 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 heav'n awake us,
Clad in light and deathless bloom.
Amen. Topics: Evening hymns; Prayer Hymns of; Evening hymns; Prayer Hymns of Languages: English Tune Title: [Savior, breathe an evening blessing]
