    In case it might be useful, I've written a text that can be used freely by anyone during this mourning period. It's attached here in a few settings.

    I cannot think of a more appropriate tune for this hymn than EISENACH. Here is Kathy's hymn in my own harmonization of this tune.

    Also, I'm attaching the score and sound file for four stanzas ... first two harmonized by J.S. Bach, the last two harmonized by me (as in the score for the hymn).

    Note: I just uploaded corrected files. Sorry for any inconvenience.
