Your body lies frozen

Your body lies frozen in the early morning cold

Because no matches you sold

Around you the matches which you did burn

In this cruel world which you has spurned

They said you did it to keep warm

As the old year passed and the new one dawned

But we know of the beautiful sights

And we do know your eternal delight

So your blood is frozen ice

So you leave us to our vice

And now in Heaven you do live

And in your mercy

Your mercy

Your mercy

You forgive
