Tender shepherd
Tender shepherd
Let me help you count your sheep
One in the meadow
Two in the garden
Three in the nursery
Fast asleep
Fast asleep
Tender shepherd
Tender shepherd
Watches over all his sheep (Tender shepherd, tender shepherd)
One say your prayers and (Watches over all his sheep)
Two close your eyes and (One say your prayers and)
Three safe and happily (Two close your eyes and)
Fall asleep (Three safe and happily)
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
My child, my very own
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Sleep until the dawn
For all is well
Dear night lights, that protect my sleeping children
Burn clear, and steadfast, tonight
One say your prayers and
Two close your eyes and
Three safe and happily
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Fall asleep
