| 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 the night be dark and dreary
Darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be. |
| 3 | Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly, Angel-guards from Thee surround us; We are safe if Thou art nigh. |
| 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. |
| James Edmeston. | |
