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.

Venture forth, O soul, to your God
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Venture forth, O soul, to your God,
Who has formed you out of nothingness,
Who has saved you through his death,
And who holds open the heavens.
Venture forth to the one, who by baptism
Has granted innocence to you.
God lovingly lifts you
Into the better life to come.
