John Stainer - Evening prayer - текст песни (слова)

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.
