Author: Francis Stanfield Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6457 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hear Thy children, gentle Jesus,
While we breathe our evening prayer;
Save us from all harm and danger,
Take us ’neath Thy sheltering care.
2 Save us from the wiles of Satan,
’Mid the lone and sleepful night
Sweetly may our guardian angels
Keep us ’neath their watchful sight.
3 Gentle Jesus, look in pity
From Thy glorious throne above:
All the night Thy care is wakeful
In Thy sacrament of love.
4 Shades of even fast are falling,
Day is fading into gloom;
When the shades of death fall round us,
Lead Thy exiled children home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER
Hear Thy Children, Gentle Jesus
