for all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, kind Maker of all things,
beneath the shelter of your wings.
2 Forgive me, by Christ's victory won,
the ill that I this day have done,
That from the fear of sin set free,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 O let me on your love repose,
let welcome sleep my eyelids close,
Sleep from whose balm new strength I take
to serve my God when I awake.
4 Praise God who gives all blessings birth;
praise God all creatures on the earth;
Praise God, who makes, sustains, sets free:
one holy God in person three.
