All Praise to Thee, My God, This Night

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

Teach me to live,
that I may dread
the grave as little
as my bed.

Teach me to die,
that so I may
rise glorious at
the judgment day.

Verse 4

O may my soul
on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep
mine eyelids close,

sleep that may me
more vigorous make
to serve my God
when I awake.

Verse 5

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.
