| Evening Prayer (Safe 'Til Morning) |
|---|
| 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 |
