1. Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;

bless Thy little lamb tonight;

Through the darkness now be near me;

keep me safe till morning light.

2. All this day Thy hand hath led me,

and I thank Thee for Thy care;

Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me;

listen to my evening prayer.

3. Let my debts be all forgiven;

bless the friends I love so well;

take us all at last to heaven,

happy there with Thee to dwell.
