Johann Hermann Schein (1586–1630)

| Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin in Gottes Willen, getrost ist mir mein Herz und Sinn, sanft und stille. Wie Gott mir verheißen hat: der Tod ist mein Schlaf worden. |
In peace and joy I go my way by the will of God. my heart and mind are comforted, soft and still. As God has promised me: Death has become a sleep for me. |
