Language: German (Deutsch)
Müde bin ich, geh zur Ruh,
Schliesse beide Äuglein zu.
Vater, laß das Auge dein
Über meinem Schlummer sein.
...
Kranke Herzen tröste du;
Nasse Augen schliesse zu.
Laß den Mond am Himmel stehn
Und die stille Welt besehn.

I am weary, I go to rest,
I close both of my little eyes,
Father, let Thy eyes
Keep watch over my bed.
...
Send rest to sick hearts,
Close tear-wet eyes,
Let the moon stand in the heavens
And gaze upon the quiet world.
