For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me, King of Kings,
Beneath thy own almighty wings.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
O may my soul on Thee repose,
And may sweet sleep my eyelids close:
Sleep that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
The I'll that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
A child should always say what's true,
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
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. A child should always say what's true, And speak when he is spoken to, And behave mannerly at table: At least as far as he is able. O may my soul on Thee repose, And may sweet sleep my eyelids close: Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. A child should always say what's true, And speak when he is spoken to, And behave mannerly at table: At least as far as he is able. Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The I'll that I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
