----------------------------------------
Müde bin ich, geh' zu Ruh,
schließe meine Augen zu.
Vater laß die Augen Dein
über meinem Bette sein.
-
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
-
I'm tired and I go to rest,
[and now] I close my eyes.
Father, let your [loving] eyes
Always watch me in my bed.
