“praise thee God, for the blessings of sleep in the light of thy Son"

Hymn 43, "All praise to thee, my God," Compline
Words: Thomas Ken, 1709  Music: Talllis’ Canon
The Hymnal of the Episcopal Church 1982

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.

Emporium #124

O may my soul on 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.
