Author: Bp. Ken Hymnal: SPHP1790 #CCXLIII (1790) First Line: Glory to thee, my God, this night Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Under thine own Almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
What ever ill this day I've done;
That, with the world, myself and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may,
Triumphing rise at the last day.
4 O may my soul on thee repose,
And with sweet sleep my eye-lids close;
Sleep that may me more vig'rous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
5 Let my blest guardian, while I sleep,
Close to my bed his vigils keep;
Let not vain dreams distrub my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest.
6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Topics: Family Worship Languages: English
