Judith & Amy

Oh dear Judith, are you at peace?

Has God brought you home?

O blessed and young, forgive me please.

And Smile upon me from heaven's seat.

Oh dear Amy, are you at peace?

Have you finally seen His face?

For love you troubled, and for love you ceased.

No longer shall you weep.

Oh beloved Judith, I miss you so

Though your face I never did i see

Forgive your mother, for she was young

Forgive your father, for he was scared

Pray for us, as we weep

Oh beloved Amy, you be my crown

A sister of whom I shall boast

God's own martyr, forgive their sins

May you be purified by the Lord's own mercy

And pray for your wounded brother here.

Judith and Amy,

God's pure children.

Your faces I long to see.

Eternal life, through Christ may you reap,

May your pains live not long.

Remember me, your sinful friend

When again in heaven we meet.
