A CHILD'S EVENING PRAYER, by MARY LUNDIE DUNCAN First Line: Jesus, tender shepherd, hear me Last Line: Happy, there, with thee to dwell. Variant Title(s): The Tender Shepherd Subject(s): Prayer | ||||||||
Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me! Bless Thy little lamb to-night! 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 clothed me, warmed and fed me, Listen to my evening prayer. 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY |
