Bed Time Prayer

A Child’s Bedtime Prayer

Kjære Gud, jeg har det godt
Takk for alt som jeg har fått
Du er god, du holder av meg
Takk at du går aldri fra meg.
Pass på liten og på stor
Gud bevare far og mor.

Dear God, I’m doing fine
Thank you for all that I have
You are good. You care about me.
Thanks, that you will never leave me.
Take good care of young and old.
God, take care of my father and my mother.

(may be sung to the tune of "Deilig er den himmel blå"
"Bright and Glorious Is the Sky", # 75 in the Lutheran Book of Worship)

 

Another commonly known/sung bedtime prayer:

Nå lukker seg mitt øye Gud Fader i det høye
i varetekt meg ta! Fra synd, fra sorg, fra fare
din engel meg bevare, som ledet har min fot i dag

Text: Peter Thun Foersom 1813, Melody: Heinrich Isaac 1495

Now I close my eyes God Father in the highest
takes me into his safekeeping From sin and sorrow and danger
your angel protects me and who has guided my steps today.
