LyicsJESUS, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless Thy little lamb to-night;
Through the darkness be Thou near me;
Keep me safe till morning light.
All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast cloth'd me, warm'd me, fed me.
Listen to my evening pray'r!
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.
