Glory to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of Kings, Beneath Thine own Almighty wings. 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. Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorlous at the awful day. O let my soul on Thee repose; And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep, that shall me more vig'rous make To serve my God when I awake. If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; May no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, angelic host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BIT OF SKY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON POSSUM SONG (A WARNING) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOHENGRIN; PROEM by EMMA LAZARUS SURFACES AND MASKS; 4 by CLARENCE MAJOR DOMESDAY BOOK: DR.
