Glory to thee, my God, this night,

Meter L.M (8.8.8.8) Orin Ale
  1. Glory 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 awful day.

  4. O may my soul on Thee repose,
    And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
    Sleep that shall 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. Amen.
