Lyics

Saviour, breathe an ev'ning blessing

Ere repose our spirits seal;

Sin and want we come confessing;

Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.



Though destruction walk around us,

Though the arrows past us fly,

Angel guards from thee surround us;

We are safe, if thou art nigh.



Though the night be dark and dreary,

Darkness cannot hide from thee;

Thou art he who, never weary,

Watchest where thy people be.
