Tallis' Canon
| Glory to thee, who safe has kept | |
| And hast refreshed me whilst I slept; | |
| Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake | |
| I may of endless light partake. | |
| Heaven is, dear Lord, where'er thou art, | |
| O never then from me depart; | |
| For to my soul 'tis hell to be | |
| But from one moment void of thee. | |
| Lord, I my vows to thee renew; | |
| Scatter my sins as morning dew; | |
| Guard my first springs of thought and will, | |
| And with thyself my spirit fill. | |
| Direct, control, suggest this day | |
| All I design, or do, or say; | |
| That all my powers, with all their might, | |
| In thy sole glory may unite. | |
| Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; | |
| Praise him, all creatures here below; | |
| Praise him above, ye heavenly host; | |
| Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. | |
