- 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.
- Save us from the wiles of Satan,
‘Mid the lone and sleepful night,
Sweetly may the guardian angels,
Keep us ‘neath their watchful sight.
- Gentle Jesus, look in pity
From thy great white throne above,
All the night thy heart is wakeful,
In the Sacrament of love.
- Shades of heaven fast are falling,
Day is fading into gloom.
When the shades of death fall round us,
Lead thine exiled children home.
