MHB 943 – GLORY to thee, my God, this night

Methodist-Hymns-943

1:  GLORY to thee, my God, this night
for all the blessings of the light;
keep me, O keep me, King of Kings,
beneath thy own almighty wings.

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.

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 aweful day.

4:   O 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.

5:  If in the right I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest.

6:   O may I always ready stand
With my lamp burning in my hand;
May I in sight of heaven rejoice,
Whene’er I hear the Bridegroom’s voice.

7:  All praise to thee in light arrayed,
Who light Thy dwelling-place hast made;
A boundless ocean of bright beams
From Thy all-glorious Godhead streams.

8:  Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
praise him, all creatures here below,
praise him above, angelic host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
