The Book of Praise ‎#822

822. All praise to thee, my God, this night

1 All praise to thee, my God, this night,
for all the blessings of the light;
keep me, oh keep me, safe from harm
within the shelter of thine arm.

2 Forgive me, Lord, through Christ, I pray,
the wrong that I have done this day,
that I, before I sleep, may be
at peace with neighbour, self and thee.

3 Oh may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close.
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make
to serve thee, God, when I awake

4 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise God, all creatures here below;
praise God above, ye heavenly host;
praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
