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 hath led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast kept and clothed and fed me:
Listen to my humble prayer.

Let my sins be all forgiven;
Bless the friends I love so well;
Fit me, Lord, as Thine for heaven,
Happy there with Thee to dwell.
