        1. Lov og Tak og evig Aere
        Ske dig Guds enbaarne Soen,
        Som en Tjener vilde vaere,
        Kommen ud af Davids Kjoen!
        Soede Jesu, laer du mig,
        At jeg vandrer rettelig,
        Og i dine Fodspor traeder,
        Ja udi din Vei mig glaeder.

        2. Lad mig aldrig dig forsage,
        Om end Kors og Kimmer mig
        Skal i denne Verden plage,
        Men at jeg dog hjaertelig
        Elsker dig indtil min Doed,
        Og forlindrer al min Noed
        Med din Foedsel, Doed og Smerte,
        Tag dem aldrig fra mit Hjerte!
