All Praise to Thee, My God, this Night

Tallis' Canon L. M.

THOMAS TALLIS

1. All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light;

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Be-neath Thine own Almighty wings. A-men.

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

Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed!

Teach me to die that so I may

Rise glorious at Thy judgment day!

4

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 awake!

5

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.

6

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! Amen.

1. Sav-iour, breathe an eve-ning bless-ing Ere re-pose our spirits seal.

Sin and want we come confess -ing; Thou canst save, and Thou canst heal.

Though the night be dark and drear - y, Darkness can - not hide from Thee,

Thou art He who, never wea-ry, Watchest where Thy peo-ple be.

A-men.

2

Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel guards from Thee surround us;
We are safe if Thou art nigh.
Should swift death this night o'ertake us,
And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us,
Clad in bright and deathless bloom.

3

Father, to Thy holy keeping

Humbly we ourselves resign; Saviour, who hast slept our sleeping, Make our slumbers pure as Thine; Blessed Spirit, brooding o'er us,

Chase the darkness of our night, Till the perfect day before us

Breaks in everlasting light. Amen. JAMES EDMESTON EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH

O Je-sus, keep me in Thy sight, And save me through the com- ing night.

A-men.

The joys of day are over;

I lift my heart to Thee,
And call on Thee that sinless

The hours of dark may be:

O Jesus, make their darkness light,

And save me through the coming night.

3

The toils of day are over;

I raise the hymn to Thee,
And ask that free from peril

The hours of dark may be:

O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,

And guard me through the coming night.

4

Be Thou my soul's preserver,

O God, for Thou dost know

How many are the perils

Through which I have to go:

Lover of men, O hear my call,

And guard and save me from them all. Amen.
