Evening Prayer

Representative Text

1 Jesus, hear my evening pray’r,
May thy tender, watchful care
Guard and keep me through the night,
Till the dawn of morning light.

2 Jesus, ever be my guide,
Keep me near thy bleeding side;
Keep my heart from every sin,
Make and keep me pure within.

3 Jesus, hear me when I cry,
Keep, oh, keep me till I die;
Teach me all thy ways, and then
I will praise thy name. Amen.
