Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: Together in Song #558 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 127 Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep my eyelids close
sleep that may me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
4 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.
5 Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
praise God, all creatures here below,
praise God above, you heavenly host,
praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Topics: Confession of Sin; Evening; Inner Peace; Light; Protection; Providence; Trust in God Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' CANON
