Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#176

176. Jesus, Tender Shepherd, Hear me

1 Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me;
Bless thy little lamb tonight;
Through the darkness be Thou near me,
Watch my sleep till morning light.

2 All this day Thy hand has led me,
And I thank Thee for Thy care;
Thou hast clothed me, warmed, and fed me,
Listen to my evening prayer.

3 May my sins be all forgiven;
Bless the friends I love so well:
Take me, Lord, at last to heaven,
Happy there with Thee to dwell.

Amen.
