Evening Prayer (Safe ‘Til Morning)
(Indisponível)
The night closes in
I draw down the fire
Make hold, make safe
For another hight
Door closed and last
Of all, the shutters
My nightly prayer
By candle light
My Pointed finger
Takes in my family
From old to small
Remembered by name
Each wall, each chamber
Wherever they are sleeping
Is brought to you
In Jesus’ name
The Spirit’s breath
To guard our sleep
And with Thy sword
Our safety brings
You shield our home
With angels’ wings
And bring us safe to morning
This simple task
Is mine for the doing
His care and protection
Are there when I ask
Take hold, be safe And secure in His keeping
And rest in the arms
Of the first and the last
