Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Schlafe nur süß mein lieber Dohl!
Im Paradies! Wie ist es dir wohl
Wo nur Liebe, nur Friede wohnt
Wo man mit seeligen Freuden dir lohnt
Wo Engelein seelig dich tragen gelind!
Zur himmlischen Ruhe, mein liebes Kind!

Du auch, o theurer Felix mein,
Giengst längst voran in die Ruhe ein!
Hast dir geholt dein lieb' Brüderlein
Hinauf in den ewigen Sonnenschein!
Seeliger Friede wiege dich ein,
Dort oben beim lieben Vater dein!

Ruhet dann aus im Paradies!
Von ird'scher Qual jetzt ruhet süß!
Euch ist's jetzt wohl im himmlischen Licht!
Vor eures Vaters Angesicht!
Himmlischer Friede wiege euch ein!
Ihr lieben theuren Kinder mein!
