Und die ihm doch so theur und werth,
Auch vollends durch die Welt.
[HYMN FOR A FUNERAL.]
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
1 Cor. xv. 42, 43.

How sweetly dost thou sleep!
How calm and peaceful thy repose,
While Christ thy soul doth keep.
In earth’s wide field thy body now
We sow, which lifeless lies,
