Trinity Hymnal ‎#642

642. Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me

1 Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me,
Bless thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be thou near me,
Keep me safe till morning light.

2 All this day thy hand has led me,
And I thank thee for thy care;
Thou hast cloth'd me, warmed and fed me,
Listen to my ev'ning pray'r.

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.
