Representative Text

1 Christe, lad din ædle Fred
Være hos os i Evighed;
Trøst hver den, som sorrigfuld er,
Være sig fjern eller nær.
Bogt din christen Menighed
Og vor kjære Ørvighed,
Giv til Fred Lyksalighed!

2 Ærens Konning, Herre blid,
Se til os i Naadens Tid;
Vend fra os din Vredes Ris,
Og os Naaden din bevis;
Giv vor Øvrighed gudeligt Mod,
Send os Troens Seier god,
Satan at slaa under Fod!

3 At dit Naaderige saa,
Kan paa Fod lyksaligt staa
Og for Freden timelig
Her paaJorden takke dig,
Siden hist faa Himmels Fred,
Evig ved dig selv bered,
I dit Riges Herlighed!
