Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;

Bless thy little lamb to-night:

Through the darkness be thou near me;

Keep me safe till morning light.

2 All this day thy hand has led me,

And I thank thee for thy care;

Thou hast clothed me, warmed me, fed me,

Listen to my evening prayer!

3 May 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.
