- 1Glory to Thee, my God, this night,
- For all the blessings of the light!
- Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
- Safe under Thine almighty wings.
- 2Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
- The ills that I this day have done,
- That with the world, myself and Thee,
- I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
- 3Teach me to live, that I may dread
- The grave as little as my bed;
- Teach me to die, that so I may
- With joy behold the judgment day.
- 4Lord, let my soul forever share
- The bliss of Thy paternal care;
- 'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above,
- To see Thy face and sing Thy love.
- 5Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
- Praise Him, all creatures here below;
- Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,
- Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
- 6Amen.
