Tallis Canon

~Tallis Canon by Thomas Tallis (1505 - 1585)

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.

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.

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.

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.
