Önske‑Wijsa
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Gott majeregn giv, låt dugga tätt ner, 
låt varm dagg örterna fukta! 
Oss torkan bortdriv, låt frostet ej mer 
de späda blomsteren tukta! 
Var nådig, var rådig! För tem jag ber, 
som Herran tjäna och frukta.

Låt skogen stå grön, låt jorden få frukt, 
se till, att oss intet trängjer, 
låt fläkta en skön och härlig en lukt 
av skogar, åkrar och ängjer! 
Låt kransas, låt dansas med fröjd och tukt, 
låt bäddas brokota sängjer!

Tu råder om krig, Tu råder om allt, 
Tu rår om himmelens fäste. 
Ty vill jag ock Tig allt hava befallt. 
Hjälp oss till fot och till häste! 
Gör frodigt, frimodigt, vad nu är kalt! 
Tu vest allena vårt bäste!
