1. Hear thy Children, gentle Jesus,
While we breathe our evening prayer,
Save us from all harm and danger
Take us ‘neath thy shelt’ ring care.
2. Save us from the wiles of Satan,
‘Mid the lone and sleepful night,
Sweetly may the guardian angels,
Keep us ‘neath their watchful sight.
3. Gentle Jesus, look in pity,
From thy great white throne above,
All the night thy heart is wakeful,
In the sacrament of love.
4. Shades of heaven fast are falling,
Day is fading into gloom.
When the shades of death fall round us,
Lead thine exiled children home.
