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;
teach me to die, that so I may
rise glorious at the aweful day.
4 O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
sleep that may me more vig'rous 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. Topics: Evening Scripture: Psalm 91:4 Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS'S CANON
