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 me home at last, to heaven,
Happy there with Thee to dwell.
Mary L. Duncan (1814-1840)
(I have changed two lines, so they are the way I was taught, and taught my children.)
