sweet repose; With Thy tend'rest bless - ing May our eye-lids close. A

1 All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the bless-ings of the light: 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done;

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Be-neath Thine own Al-might-y wings. A-men. That with the world, myself, and Thee, I,

in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went a What if Thy form we can not see? We know and feel that Thou art here.

3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release;

And bless us, more than in past days,
With purity and inward peace.

Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

4 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto Thee we call;

O let Thy mercy make us glad;

Thou art our Saviour, and our all.

Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.

5 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come;
Thro' night and darkness near us be;
Good angels watch about our home,

And we are one day nearer Thee.

Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
