| Text: | Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me |
| Author: | Mary Lundie Duncan |
| Tune: | EVENING PRAYER |
| Composer: | John Stainer |
1 Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless Thy little lamb to-night;
Through the darkness be Thou near me,
Keep me safe till morning light.
2 Through 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.
3 Let 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.
Amen.
