Shepherd Jesus, in Thy arms Let Thy little lamo repose, Safe and free from all alarms In the love the Shepherd shows; May my slumber quiet be, Angels watching over me! Often mother dear has told How the children Thou didst bless, And I know that in Thy fold All is joy and happiness: May my slumber quiet be, Angels watching over me! Shepherd Jesus, make Thy child Pure and gentle as the dew, Keep my spirit underfiled Waking, sleeping, kind and true: May my slumber quiet be, Angels watching over me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ECHOING GREEN, FR.
