Canon
Libera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 e'er 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





Amen.

03년도 고참이 기타로 캐논변주곡 치길래 많이 듣던 노래라서 물어보니

캐논 변주곡 이라고

그 뒤로 휴가나 외출 나가면 게임방에서

캐논 음악을 틀곤 했지

이 노래가 가장 기억나네요

옛 추억이여... 벌써 20년이 다되어 가네요....
