1 Savior, breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.

Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrows past us fly,
Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.

Angel-guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe, if Thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watches where Thy people be.
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou art He who, never weary,
Watches where Thy people be.
