German text Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht, Mit Rosen bedacht, Mit Näg’lein besteckt Schlupf’ unter die Deck’; Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, Wirst du wieder geweckt. Guten Abend, gut’ Nacht, Von Eng’lein bewacht, Die zeigen [um]¹ Traum Dir Christkindleins Baum: [Schlaf’ nun selig und süß, Schau im Traum ’s Paradies.]² ¹ Ives: „im“ ² Scherer: „Droben im Paradies / Schlaf nun selig und süß.“		English translation Rest thee, darling, good night, ’Mid lilies of white, Red roses I’ve spread All over thy bed. When the lark leaves its nest, God shall wake thee from rest. Rest thee, darling, good night, Kind angels of light With Jesus will keep From evil thy sleep. They will bring to my love Pretty dreams from above. alternate English translation: The Lied and Art Song Texts Page
