Müde bin ich, geh zur Ruh,
Schliesse beide Äuglein zu.
Vater, laß die Augen dein
Über meinem Bette sein.

Hab' ich Unrecht heut' gethan,
Sieh es, lieber Gott, nicht an!
Deine Gnad' in Jesu Blut
Macht ja allen Schaden gut.

Alle, die mir sind verwandt,
Gott, laß ruhn in deiner Hand!
Alle Menschen, groß und klein,
Sollen dir befohlen sein.

Kranken Herzen sende Ruh;
Nasse Augen schliesse zu.
Laß den Mond am Himmel stehn
Und die stille Welt besehn.
