from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Min födelsedag
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Min födelsedag förtjänar att jag ett tacksamhetsljud 
till himmelen sänder att prisa min Gud, 
som skapat mig väl 
att jag av hans hander fått lemmar och själ. 

Och om jag ej mer min födslodag ser, 
så ske som Du vill! 
Jag haver i tankar från jorden mig skilt. 
Bered mig i tid 
att lyfta mitt ankar och fara i frid.
