Evening Prayer (safe ’til Morning) – Eden’s Bridge – letras

The night closes inI draw down the fireMake hold, make safeFor another hightDoor closed and lastOf all, the shuttersMy nightly prayerBy candle lightMy Pointed fingerTakes in my familyFrom old to smallRemembered by nameEach wall, each chamberWherever they are sleepingIs brought to youIn Jesus’ nameThe Spirit’s breathTo guard our sleepAnd with Thy swordOur safety bringsYou shield our homeWith angels’ wingsAnd bring us safe to morningThis simple taskIs mine for the doingHis care and protectionAre there when I askTake hold, be safe And secure in His keepingAnd rest in the armsOf the first and the last
