Saviour Breathe an Evening Blessing (With Lyrics) - Beautiful Funeral / Evensong Hymn

A really lovely funeral [or evening!] song off of my Evensong album, "Saviour Breathe an Evening Blessing" is another beautiful hymn that brings a relaxing moment of peace. It is a hymn to bring quiet and calm to the troubled soul at the close of another day, and is also perfect for a comforting and uplifting funeral song, singing 'if swift death this night overtake me... may the morn in heaven awake me!"
I hope it brings peace and comfort to you!

If you enjoyed this hymn, consider saving it or any of your other favourites to your playlists on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people. Even if your playlist has even just two likes, it does actually help so much with the song getting heard by others, and also makes my day to see that people are enjoying it in their everyday lives.

Lastly, consider this channel your own personal hymn-sing - I'm always hoping for more requests for hard-to-find songs. If you have a favourite hymn you'd like to hear or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, please leave a comment below and let me know, or email staceyplayshymns@gmail.com and I'll see if I can do it for you! The older and less known, the better! It's always a delight to unearth treasures from the past and give them a new voice to reach believers in a new era.

Lyrics - When the Night Shades Gently Are Falling
by James Edmeston

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

3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee;
Thou are He who, never weary,
Watchest where Thy people be.

4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in bright and deathless bloom.
