FATHER, BREATHE AN EVENING BLESSING
FATHER, BREATHE AN EVENING BLESSING
1. Father, breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirit 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 arrows past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.
4. Father, to Thy holy keeping
Humbly we ourselves resign;
Saviour, who hast slept our sleeping,
Make our slumbers pure as thine.
5. Blessed spirit, brooding o’er us
Chase the darkness of our night,
Till the perfect day before us
Breaks in everlasting light.
Amen.
