Author: Thomas Ken (1637-1711) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #223 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 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 awesome day.
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.
5 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.
6 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. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in the morning and evening; Purity Of Heart; Renewal Scripture: Ephesians 4:26 Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS'S CANON
