Tender Lord,
by Your Word, send gentle peace.
Surely bless, perfect rest from sin release.
Father dear, always near, guard, watch and keep
This child this night in sleep.

Each night, my head on my pillow,
Darkness and fear come to me.

Jesus knows how to dismiss them
with His love.

Jesus my strength and my fortress,
Tenderly watches o'er me.
Guiding my life through my troubles,
With His Word.

Praise always be to the Father,
Praise always be to the Son,
Glory to you, Holy Spirit,
Three in One.
