Verse 1

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me; Bless Thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be Thou near me; Watch my sleep till morning light.

Verse 2

All this day thy hand has led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me, Listen to my evening prayer.

Verse 3

Let my sins be all forgiven; Bless the friends I love so well;
Take me, when I die, to heaven, Happy there with Thee to dwell.
