by Biørn Christian Lund
Translation by Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783 - 1872)

Min Jesus, lad mit hjerte få
Language: Danish (Dansk)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
Min Jesus, lad mit hjerte få
en sådan smag på dig,
at nat og dag du være må
min sjæl umistelig! 

Da bliver nådens tid og stund
mig sød og lystelig,
thi du mig kysser med din mund
og tager hjem til dig! 

Mit hjerte i den grav, du lå,
som opstod hvid og rød,
lad, når det aftner, hvile få
og smile ad sin død! 

Før så mig arme synder hjem
med din retfærdighed
til dit det ny Jerusalem,
til al din herlighed!
