- Saviour, breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and thou alone. - Tho' destruction walk a round us,
Tho' the arrows past us fly,
Angel guards from thee surround us,
We are safe if thou art nigh. - Tho' the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from thee;
Thou art he who, never Weary,
Watchest where thy people be. - Should swift death this night o'er-take us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in bright and deathless bloom.
A-men
