Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;

Bless thy little lamb tonight:

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 warmed me, clothed and fed me;

Listen to my evening prayer!

Let my sins be all forgiven;

Bless the friends I love so well:

Take us all at last to heaven,

Happy there with thee to dwell.
