Evening Prayer

Representative Text

1 O, Jesus, fold me in thy gentle arms,
And guard Thy little lamb from all alarms
Through this dark night.

2 O, Jesus, do thou pardon all my sin,
And in Thy precious blood wash me quite clean,
And set me right.

3 O, Jesus, bless my friends, so kind and dear,
Take care of them, and be thou very near
To all, this night.
