Seit der Tod meinen Herren zwang fern mir zu gehen, nach der Welt und ihrem Gang mag ich nicht sehen Aller Freude das beste Teil nahm er dahin. Seiner Seele Ruhe und Heil sinnt nun mein Sinn. Die heilige Fahrt, die ich nun tue, gebe seiner und meiner Seele Ruhe. Zu Gott will ich bald gehen und ihn wiedersehen.
