Come winter, cold and frosty
Hold me firmly in your vice
With majestic force you hold
This world in your white hand
Come winter, white preserver
Cover my body with white lace
Come winter, pure and shining
I pleed thee for eternal existence
You have the might to preserve
Life in its slumber
Come winter, white preserver
Please heed this my last wish
On earth
Trustful friend;
Never deceive
Enshroud me;
Peace surrounds my soul
Misty grace;
Cover me in white
Forgive my sins;
Winter, keep me warm
