90 THE CHAPEL

(FOR MALE VOICES)

Conradin Kreutzer

What beams so bright from the moun-tain height, A-midst the

stars of the

ber night? What beams so bright from the mountain height,

Amidst the

light on the ho- ly chap- el wall, Inviting the pil - grim to

pray in

its hall,

Inviting the pilgrim to pray

in

its hall.

2 Who breaks the sleep of the silent hour,
With songs so solemn of depth and pow'r?
Who breaks the sleep of the silent hour,
With songs so solemn of depth and pow'r?
'Tis the holy choir in the hymn of even,

Now chanting their praise to their God in heav'n;
'Tis the holy choir in the hymn of even,

||:Now chanting their praise to their God in heav'n.:||

3 What sound comes down wafted on the gale,
In measured beat thro' the misty vale?
What sound comes down wafted on the gale,
In measured beat thro' the misty vale?
'Tis the signal bell to the wand'ring guest,
Now calling the wearied pilgrim to rest;
'Tis the signal bell to the wand'ring guest,
Now calling the wearied pilgrim to rest. :||

T: Tallis

All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the bless ings of the light

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Be-neath Thine own Al- mighty wirgs.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son,
The ill that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and
Thee,

I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 O may my soul on Thee repose,
And with sweet sleep mine eyelids
close;
[ make
Sleep that may me more vigorous
To serve my God when I awake.

Thos. Ken
