TALLIS'S EVENING HYMN L. M.

4

Arr. from Thomas Tallis, 1567

All praise to Thee, my God, this night For all the bless-ings of the light,

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Be-neath Thy own al- might -y wings. Amen.

ALL praise 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 awful 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 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.

Thomas Ken, 1695, 1709

O Light of life, O Sav- iour dear, Be fore we sleep bow down Thine ear;

Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee. A - men.

10 LIGHT of life, O Saviour dear,

Before we sleep bow down Thine ear;
Through dark and day, o'er land and sea,
We have no other hope but Thee.

2 Oft from Thy royal road we part,
Lost in the mazes of the heart:
Our lamps put out, our course forgot,
We seek for God, and find Him not.

3 What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!
What dawning risen upon the night!
Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we
Find guide and path and all in Thee.

4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear,
Abide with us, more nearly near;
Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,
The sun of God's own paradise.

5 Praise God, our Maker and our Friend;
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;

Till psalm and song His name adore

Through heaven's great day of evermore.

Francis T. Palgrave, 1865

O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away!
