O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!

Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
Now have the purple shades of night,
The silent world enshrouded;
The veil of darkness blots out light,
Yet faith grants sight unclouded;
The body longs for rest;
Eyes close in weariness;
Yet wings my heart to God in prayer
To praise His daily loving care.

Thy bounty and Thy faithfulness,
My Lord, this day compassed me;
My strength drawn from Thy watchfulness,
Each breath of life comes from Thee;
Accept my thanks and praise;
My all to Thee I raise;
Naught else have I to dedicate
For these Thy benefits so great.

O grant my heart may blameless prove
As, on my bed, I'm lying;
Let patience, mercy Thy heart move
For o'er my faults I'm sighing;
I pray Thee from this day
To my charge nothing lay;
O, dearest Father, cover Thou
With Jesus' blood, my errors now.

Be Thou my light throughout this night,
My sentinel untiring;
And bridle Satan's evil might,
My downfall he's conspiring;
For he would me devour
Without Thy grace and pow'r;
O, with Thy hedge my soul enfold,
No fear shall I have in Thy fold.
