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 mighty King of kings,Beneath the shadow of thy wings,
2
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,The ills which I this day have done;That with the world, myself, and thee,I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3
Be thou my Guardian while I sleep;Thy watchful station near me keep;My heart with love celestial fill,And guard me from the approach of ill.
4
Lord, let my heart forever shareThe bliss of thy paternal care;'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above,To see thy face and sing thy love.
5
Teach me this fleeting life to live,So that the grave no dread shall give;Teach me to die, so that I mayWith joy behold the Judgment day.
