An Evening Prayer

from Thomas Ken's Evening Hymn
Tune: Tallis' Canon (harmonized)

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.

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.

O may my soul in Thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.

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.
