All praise to thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh keep me, King of kings,
Beneath thy own almighty wings.
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh keep me, King of kings,
Beneath thy own almighty wings.
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done,
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
The ill that I this day have done,
That with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
To die, that this vile body may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
The grave as little as my bed;
To die, that this vile body may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
Oh may my soul on thee repose,
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest.
No powers of darkness me molest.
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest.
No powers of darkness me molest.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
