SKVR textEnglish

1Pois pilvi päivän päältä,Away, cloud from the sun's face,

2Anna päivän paistaa,Let the sun shine forth,

3Auringon loistaa,Let the sun's glow brighten,

4Herran kynttilän helotella.Let the Lord's candle shimmer,

5Paista puuhun, paista maahan,Shine into trees, shine on land,

6Paista Herran haulan päälle,Shine upon the Lord's resting place,

7Paista paimenen poveen.Shine into the shepherd's heart.

Äitini kertomasta puuttui säe: "Herran kynttilän helotella" ja "Ison-Taavan" säe: "Paista paimenen poveen". Muuten samanlainen.
