Jesu Dulcis Memoria
Jesus, how sweet the very thought, Giving true joy to the heart, But sweeter than honey and all else Is His presence.
Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150
II. Coro: Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich
For you, O Lord, I long. My God, I trust in you. Let me not be confounded, so that my foes will not exult over me.
III. Aria: Doch bin und bleibe ich vergnügt
I am and remain content, even though here on earth the cross, the storms, and other trails rage death, hell, and whatever else comes to pass. Even if misfortune strikes the faithful servant, right is right and remains forever right.
IV. Coro: Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me; daily I wait for you.
V. Terzetto: Cedern müssen von den Winden
Cedars must often suffer much hardship from the winds; many times they are upturned. When counsel and deed are founded upon God, heed not what howls against them, for his word teaches very differently.
VI. Coro: Meine Augen sehen stets zu dem Herrn My eyes look constantly to the Lord, for he will pluck my foot from the net.
VII. Coro: Meine Tage in dem Leide Endet Gott dennoch
My days of suffering God turns to joy.
Christians on the thorny paths carry heaven’s strength and blessing. God remains my faithful protector; I heed not humanity’s defiance. Christ, who stands beside us, helps me daily to fight victoriously.
