Abendsegen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Abends, will ich schlafen gehn,
vierzehn Engel um mich stehn:
zwei zu meinen Häupten,
zwei zu meinen Füßen,
zwei zu meiner Rechten,
zwei zu meiner Linken,
zwei die mich decken,
zwei, die mich wecken,
zwei, die mich weisen
zu Himmels Paradeisen!

Avondgebed
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
's Avonds als ik slapen ga
komen mij veertien eng'len na:
twee aan mijn hoofdeind,
twee aan mijn voeteneind,
twee aan mijn linkerzij,

twee die mij dekken,
twee die mij wekken,
twee die mij wijzen,
naar 's hemels paradijzen!
