Evangelical Lutheran hymnal ‎#316

316. 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 for ever share
The bliss of Thy paternal care;
Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven 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.
