"TOMBSTONE OF JOHANN ADAM HEEB II"

Come O death,thou sleeps dark brother,

Come and lead me forth to God

Loose of my soul's ship, the rudder,

Guide me safely into port

Let him, persecute who will

Thou canst soothe and cheer me still,

For through thee, alone come I

To my saviours home on high.

"Come, O death, thou sleep's dark brother,

Come and lead me froth to God

Let him, persecute who will,

Thou cans't soothe and cheer me still,

For through Thee, alone come I

To my Saviour's home on high."
