O Welt, ich muß dich lassen
ich fahr dahin mein Straßen
ins ewge Vaterland.
Mein Geist will ich aufgeben,
dazu mein Leib und Leben
befel'n in Gottes gnäd'ge Hand.

O world, I must leave you,
I take the road
To the eternal native country.
I will give up my spirit,
Also my body and life
Up to God's gracious hand.
