@kensingtonpalace Essentially, it's a prayer used by the monks in monasteries at the end of the day, just before they go to sleep. It is a complex and liturgical version of the night time prayer, "As I now lay to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep..."
The Tallis Canon
Glory to Thee my God this night, for all the blessings of the light
Keep me O keep me, King of Kings, beneath thine own almighty wings
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
Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise him all creatures here below
Praise him above angelic host, praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
