A native of Munden Germany

Dear Father, we shall meet again
Now art thou free from pangs of pain -
Since God in Jesus Christ thee raised
And Father, Son and Ghost be praised,
Who led thee to the place of bliss
And brings us where our Father is.

Behold you strangers passing by
As you now are so once was I
As I am now so you must be
Prepare for death and follow me.
