HYMN 33.

Glory 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.

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 the awful day.

O let my soul on Thee repose;
And may sweet sleep my eyelids close;
Sleep, that shall me more vig'rous make,
To serve my God when I awake.
