THE CHURCH
CONGREGATIONAL HYMNS

(L. M.) 291

by THOMAS KEN, 1637 1711

All praise to thee, my God, this night
"Hide me in the shadow of your wings* Psalm 17:8
All praise to thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light!
Keep me, o keep me, king of kings,
Beneath Thy 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 on Thee repose,
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I wake.
Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grace as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
Rise glorious at the awful day.
