For all the blessings of the light!

Beneath Thine own almighty wings.

The ill that I this day have done,
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close,
Sleep, that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
