Original text and translations

English text

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.

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.

Lyrics: Ma­ry L. Dun­can, 1839.
