Mourners

Do not mourn me, farewell to
 all from your father, mother, sister, 
brother, friend, aunt, uncle and all…

Our father Christ has called, 
so mourn me not, it is all in vain…

Do not call me to your side,
 for I can not come, my course
 has run and my days are spent…

Go home my friends and 
be content, go home and dry
 your tears…

I must lie here till Christ appears
 and takes me to his house…

Do not mourn me for 
we shall meet again…
