A CHILD'S EVENING HYMN

SHEPHERD Jesus, in Thy arms

Let Thy little lamb repose,

Safe and free from all alarms

In the love the Shepherd shows;

May my slumber quiet be,

Angels watching over me!

Often mother dear has told

How the children Thou didst bless,

And I know that in Thy fold

All is joy and happiness:

May my slumber quiet be,

Angels watching over me!

Shepherd Jesus, make Thy child

Pure and gentle as the dew,

Keep my spirit undefiled

Waking, sleeping, kind and true:

May my slumber quiet be,

Angels watching over me!
