1 Witajże Bohaterze
u wrót grobu swego!
Triumfujemy szczerze
u grobu próżnego.

2 Wróg możny już ujęty,
legł Ci pod nogami;
możemy rzec: Bóg święty
jest i będzie z nami!

3 Zwycięska pieśń wesoło
brzmi na wszystkie strony,
Ty sam zwiastujesz wkoło
pokój nieskończony.

4 Ach, pociech z swych zdobyczy
daj nam w obfitości,
dziś serce sobie życzy
użyć Twej błogości.

5 Chorągwią swą powiewaj
gdzie to Twój przed nami,
i z śmierci go odkrywaj
w górze nad gwiazdami.

6 Radośnie z Tobą chcemy
iść i w grobu cienie,
bo wiarą pewnie wiemy,
że nam dasz wzbudzenie.

7 Czyż dojmie nam już trwoga?
Tępa śmierci strzała?
Jesteśmy w łasce Boga,
wiecznie Jemu chwała!

He matriculated, at Michaelmas, 1693, at the University of Leipzig, where he came under the influence of J. Olearius, J. B.
