    • 1909, Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i America:
      Jeg kan finde i mit Hjerte, / At min Sjæl har Trøst deraf, / Som kan lindre al min Smerte, / Naar jeg mindes kun din Grav, / Og betænker, hvor du laa / Udi Dødsens mørke Vraa, / Og stod op med Kraft og Ære, / Hvad kan større Glæde være?
      I can find in my heart / That my soul finds consolation / Capable of soothing all my pain, / When only I reminisce about your grave / And consider where you lay / In the dark corner/hidden place of death, / And got up with power and honour, / What can be of greater joy?
    • 1847, Carl Joakim Brandt, Den Danske psalmedigtning: deel. Efter Kingo, page 25:
