Fahr hin, o Seel', zu deinem Gott

Fahr hin, o Seel', zu deinem Gott,
der dich aus nichts gestaltet,
der dich erlöst durch seinen Tod,
den Himmel offen haltet.

Fahr hin zu dem, der in der Tauf
die Unschuld dir gegeben,
Er nehme dich barmherzig auf
in jenes bess're Leben.

by Peter Rosegger (1843-1918) , from Erdsegen: vertrauliche Sonntagsbriefe eines Bauernknechtes, ein Kulturroman, published 1900
