1. FATHER, breathe an evening blessing Ere repose our spirit seal, Sin and want we come confessing: Thoucans:save.and Thoucansl 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. Blessed Spirit, brooding o’er us Chase the darkness of our night Till the perfect day before us Breaks in everlasting light. 5. Father, to Thy holy keeping Humbly we ourselves resign Saviour, who hast slept our sleeping Make our slumbers pure as Thine 6. Holy Spirit on us descend Darkness ever cast away Till Thy glorious day we’ll witness Everlasting Light so bright AMEN
