#49Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing

Tune: Hinman
Meter: 8.7.8.7
1
Savior, 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 can-not hide from Thee; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be.
3
Though destruction walk around us, Though the arrows past us fly, Angel guards from Thee surround us; We are safe if Thou art nigh.
4
Should swift death this night o'er-take us, And our couch become our tomb, May the morn in heaven wake us, Clad in bright and deathless bloom.
