by Christian Winther (1796 - 1876)

Jeg lægger mig så trygt til ro
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Jeg lægger mig så trygt til ro
som fuglen hist i skove,
thi du min Gud, du våger jo
for mig når jeg skal sove! 

Hav tak for dagen lys og blid
for hver dens lyst og glæde!
Hjælp alle dem som smærter har, 
trøst alle dem som græde!

Hold i din varetækt, o Gud!
mig selv og mine kære
og styrk mig, så jeg dine bud 
kan tro og lydig være!
