[1] Now, praise God, it is finished. Singing, praying, teaching, God has made all things well. let us increase his praise, our God be highly praised, that he has fed us so well.
2. When the service is over, the blessing is given to us. We go home in joy. Walk well in God’s paths, God’s spirit direct us further and prepare us well.
3. God bless our departure, our coming in the same way. Bless our daily bread, bless our doings, bless us with blessed death and make us into heirs of heaven.
4. Amen, amen, this is true, we believe from the bottom of the heart, trust in it completely, sing joyfully with the mouth. Amen, amen, this is yea, yea, hallelujah. This letter belongs to Elisabeth Huhn. Written in the year 1800.
