All praise to Thee, my God, this night
For all the blessings of the light!
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings
Beneath Thine 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
O may my soul on Thee repose
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake
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
Alternate verses:
Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the judgment day
| |
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
O when shall I, in endless day
For ever chase dark sleep away
And hymns divine with angels sing
All praise to thee, eternal King?
