Eden's Bridge - Evening Prayer - Celtic Lullabies Album Version lyrics

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
