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