Classic Poem

This day we shall bury
the impure, sinful body,
and have nothing more to do
with vain pastimes
of those to whom nothing is known
of the pure joys of Heaven
The Son of God, in His mercy,
is inviting us to His marriage.

Jesus, through His dying,
has prepared a refuge in death,
otherwise we should be destroyed
and perish in the great judgment!
Now He receives sinners
because He is able to redeem them
From their sins and their seed,
Therefore praise His name.

Jesus brings about repentance in our hearts
of all our sins and faults,
and His blood and death agonies
console us with the grace of God
Therefore let us freely
without any hypocrisy
yield ourselves to Him heartily
to live and die for Him!

Is the water able to overflow
our body in baptism?
So is Jesus able to take from us
all evil so that nothing may remain.
Jesus can purify us
and unite us with Him.
Whoever can yield himself to His death,
may live with Him forever.
Therefore let us hasten
to follow after our Brother
In the world no longer tarry,
cheerfully bear our burden.
His shame is our honor,
let us hear Him attentively
and He will reward our short sufferings
With the joys of Heaven.
