Here are two Latin stanzas I found (not translated) for O Traurigkeit [O Darkest Woe], popularly known as "Christ's Committal Hymn"; from a book on Johann Rist, here from his Himlische Lieder:
1. HEU, heu dolor,
Luctus labor!
Quis jure non queratur?
Unicus gnatus Dei
Patris—en!—humatur.
2. Deus jacet
Heu! ipsemet:
Palus dedit necatum.
Hinc polum nobis licet
Obtinere gratum.
