by Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872)

Fred og Glæde for dem græde
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Fred og Glæde,
for dem græde
tidlig vi med Hjærtens Graad,
tit end silde
fare vilde
vi om Freds og Glædes Raad;
uden dem al Verden dog
er for os en Djævlekrog.

Fred og Glæde,
derom kvæde
Engle sødt for Kristne smaa,
saa de smile
hvor de hvile,
hvor Gud Faders Vugge gaa
fredelig og glædelig,
med Smaaglimt af Himmerig.
