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,
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]
O may my soul on thee repose,
and may sweet sleep mine eyelids close–
sleep that shall me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.

[4]
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.

[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.
