Dödens vila
 (Sung text for setting by Y. Kilpinen)
 Matches base text
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Our translations:  FIN
Stilla, stilla trädens kronor susa.
Sakta vindfläkt viskar tyst och dör.
Från det fjärran ljusa
höres toner av osynlig kör.
 
Bort, långt bort, där ovan himlaranden
som en ängel i sin vita skrud
svävar hän den trötta mänskoanden
att få vila lugnt hos Herren Gud.
