18. Glory to thee, my God, this night

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 blest almighty wings.

2. 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 judgment day.

3. O let my soul on thee repose!
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
Sleep that shall me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
