316 S ATURDAY Hymn All praise to you, O God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep us, we pray, O king of kings, Beneath your own almighty wings. Forgive us, Lord, through Christ your Son Whatever wrong this day we’ve done; Your peace give to the world, O Lord, That all might live in one accord. Enlighten us, O Blessed Light, And give us rest throughout this night. O strengthen us, that for your sake, We all may serve you when we wake. Meter: LM Tune: Tallis’ Canon Text: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711, alt. Psalm 4 Ant. Have mercy, Lord, and hear my prayer. The resurrection of Christ was God’s supreme and wholly marvelous work. (Saint Augustine) When I call, answer me, O God of justice; from anguish you released me, have mercy and hear me! O men, how long will your hearts be closed, will you love what is futile and seek what is false? It is the Lord who grants favors to those whom he loves; the Lord hears me whenever I call him. Fear him; do not sin: ponder on your bed and be still. Make justice your sacrifice, and trust in the Lord. “What can bring us happiness?” many say. Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord. You have put into my heart a greater joy than they have from abundance of corn and new wine.
