292. All Praise to Thee, Our God, This Night

1 All praise to thee, our God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep us, O keep su, King of kings,
Beneath thine own almighty wings!

2 Forgive us, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The ill that we this day have done;
That with the world, ourselves, and thee
We, ere we sleep, at peace may be,

3 O may our souls on thee repose,
And with sweet sleep our eyelids close;
Sleep that may us more vigorous make
To serve our God when we awake.

4 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.

Amen.
