1 Vor Herre Gud og Skabermand,
Velsigne os i alle Land,
Han vende selv sig naadig hid,
Bevare os til evig Tid!

Og give os al Naaden sin!

Og give os en evig Fred!

Gud Helligaand, al Verden om
Velsign den hele Kristendom!

Udvalgte Jesu kristi Brud!
Gak hen med Fred og Glædesang,

Velsignet eders Indgang her,
Velsignet udi Lys og Løn
Ved Jesus Krist, Guds kjære Søn!

7 Han fører os, vor Frelsermand,
Hjem til vort rette Fædreland,
Der skal vi glædes bedre da,
Staar op, kom lad os gaa herfra!

Amen.
