Author: Thomas Ken Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,046 hymnals Topics: Rounds and Canons Lyrics: 1 All praise to you, my God, this night, for all the blessings of the light. Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, beneath the shelter of your wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for this I pray, the wrong that I have done this day. May peace with God and neighbor be, before I sleep, restored to me. 3 Lord, may I be at rest in you and sweetly sleep the whole night through. Refresh my strength, for your own sake, so I may serve you when I wake. 4 Praise, God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below. Praise him above, you heavenly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Used With Tune: TALLIS CANON

You bring my wand'ring spirit back When I forsake your ways; And lead me, for your mercy’s sake, In paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, Your presence is my stay; One word of your supporting breath Drives all my fears away. Your hand, in sight of all my foes, Does still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Your oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may your house be my abode, And all my work be praise! There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come. No more a stranger, nor a guest; But like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
