"Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings."-Ps. xvii. 8.

FI GLORY to Thee, my God, this night,

For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings,
Beneath Thine own Almighty wings!

P 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.

TEMPLE.

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 the awful day.

4 Oh, 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.

F 5 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.

"I shall be satisfied, when I awake with Thy likeness."-Ps. xvii. 15.

Face,

the Son

parting hymn of praise: We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease;
