Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 judgment day.

Verse 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.

Verse 5

When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No pow'rs of darkness me molest.
