American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#568

568. Glory To Thee, My God, This Night

1 Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light!
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Safe under Thine almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ills that I this day have 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
With joy behold the judgment day.

4 Lord, let my soul forever share
The bliss of Thy paternal care;
'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above,
To see Thy face and sing Thy love.

5 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.

Amen.
