by Thomas Kingo (1634 - 1703)

Hvilestunden er i vente
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Hvilestunden er i vente,
solen sættes mer og mer,
denne dag har Gud på rente
hos mig, og så mange fler! 

Sundhed, styrke, liv og ære
lægges hver dag til min sum! 
glemmer jeg det, må jeg være
ganske både blind og dum. 

Dig, o Gud, ske lov og ære
for din nåde denne dag,
evig du velsignet være,
for jeg, efter dit behag,

fører sundhed med til senge,
og med god samvittighed
bag gardinet kan ophænge
al den sorrig, som jeg ved. 

Lad enhver i dine arme
søvn og salig hvile få! 
over mig sig Gud forbarme! 
sov, mit øje, sov herpå!
