I praise Thy name, O God of light,
For rest and safe­ty through the night;
Beneath Thy wing, se­cure­ly kept,
I closed my eyes and sweet­ly slept.
Redeemed from wea­ri­ness, I rise
To greet the light with cheer­ful eyes;
And with the birds on joy­ful wing,
My soul would rise, and sweet­ly sing.

Refrain

I praise Thy name, O God of light,
For rest and safe­ty thro’ the night;
Beneath Thy wing, se­cure­ly kept,
I closed my eyes and sweetly slept.

I thank Thee, Lord, for all Thy care,
For all the bless­ings that I share—
Life, rea­son, health, and home, and friends,
And ev­ery gift Thy good­ness sends.
O let me ne­ver, ne­ver cease
To cher­ish trust and thank­ful­ness;
From Thee, Thou mak­er of my frame,
Each un­de­serv­èd bless­ing came.

Refrain

As num­ber­less as stars of hea­ven
Are the rich boun­ties Thou hast giv­en,
And fresh as dews, and sweet as flow­ers,
The love that smiles on all my hours.
O let me to Thy al­tar bring
A pure and grate­ful of­fer­ing;
And let my thanks, as in­cense rise
In Christ, a pleas­ing sac­ri­fice.
