An Evening Hymn

Thomas Ken (1709) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:27

Verse 1

All praise to You, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light. Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath the shelter of Your wings.

Verse 2

Forgive me, Lord, for this I pray, The wrong that I have done this day. May peace with God and neighbor be, Before I sleep restored to me.

Verse 3

Lord, may I be at rest in You And sweetly sleep the whole night thro'. Refresh my strength, for Your own sake, So I may serve You when I wake.

Verse 4

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
