Transcription:

Mein Heiland nemm die Sünder an \ Die unter ihrer last der sünder \ Kein mensch kein engel trösten kan \ Die nergends ruh und rettung finden \ Den’n selbst die weiter welt zu klein \ D sich und GOtt ein greuel sein \ Den’n Moses schon den Stab gebrochen \ Und sie der Hölle zugesprochen \ Wird diese freystadt aufgethan \ Mein Heiland nemmt dei Sünden an
Rahel Scheddenger Deutsch Schuhl 
 

Translation:

My Savior takes the sinners who under their burden of sinners no man, no angel can comfort, who do not find peace and salvation anywhere, for whom even the world is too small, who are an abomination to themselves and to God, for whom Moses has already broken his staff and promised them to Hell. When this free city will be opened, my Savior takes the sinners.
Rahel Scheddenger, German school.
