Hymn for Evening

All praise to thee, my God, this night

For 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 have done;

That with the world, myself, and thee,

I, ere I sleep, at peace must be.

May my soul on thee repose

And with sleep mine eyelids close;

Sleep shall me more vigorous make

To serve my God when I awake.

Amen.
