#557Evening Blessing

Words: T. Ken
Music: T. Tallis
1
Glory to thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath thy 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; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the judgment day.
4
O may my soul on thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake.
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.
