- 1Savior, breath an evening blessing
- Ere repose our spirits seal;
- Sin and want we come confessing;
- Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.
- 2Tho' destruction walk around us,
- Tho' the arrows past us fly,
- Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
- We are safe, if Thou art nigh.
- 3Tho' the night be dark and dreary,
- Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
- Thou art He who, never weary,
- Watcheth where Thy people be.
- 4Should 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.
