A CHILD'S EVENING PRAYER, by                    
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.
