O may my soul on thee respose
Language: English
O may my soul on thee respose, and may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, sleep that shall me more vigorous make to serve my God when I awake. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heavenly hosts; praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
