    Jesus tender shepherd hear me.
    Bless thy little lamb to night.
    Through the darkness be thou near me.
    Keep me safe till morning light.
    All this day thy hand has led me.
    And I thank thee for thy care.
    Thou has warmed me, clothed and fed me.
    Listen to my to my evening prayer.
    Let my sins be all forgiven.
    Bless the friends I love so well.
    Take us all at last to heaven.
    Happy there with thee to dwell.
    There are four corners in my bed.
    There are four Angels at my head.
    Matthew, Mark, James and John.
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    One to watch.
    One to pray.
    Two to carry my soul away.
