	Story Behind the Song A funeral piece which celebrates life rather than deploring it Lyrics German: Valet will ich dir geben, Du arge, falsche Welt, Dein sündlich böses Leben Durchaus mir nicht gefällt. Im Himmel ist gut wohnen, Hinauf steht mein Begier, Da wird Gott ewig lohnen Dem, der ihm dient allhier. --Valerius Herberger, 1614 English: Farewell, I gladly bid thee, False, evil world, farewell! Thy life is dark and sinful, With thee I would not dwell: In Heav'n are joys untroubled, I long for that bright sphere Where God rewards them doubled Who serve Him truly here. --tr.
