4 Texts and Translations Cantata for various Church Occasions, BWV 150 1. Sinfonia 1. Sinfonia 2. Chor Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. Mein Gott, ich hoffe auf dich. Laß mich nicht zuschanden werden, daß sich meine Feinde nicht freuen über mich. (Psalm 25:1-2) 3. Arie S Doch bin und bleibe ich vergnügt, Obgleich hier zeitlich toben Kreuz, Sturm und andre Proben, Tod, Höll, und was sich fügt. Ob Unfall schlägt den treuen Knecht, Recht ist und bleibet ewig Recht. 4. Chor Leite mich in deiner Wahrheit und lehre mich; denn du bist der Gott, der mir hilft, täglich harre ich dein. (Psalm 25:5) 5. Terzett A T B Zedern müssen von den Winden Oft viel Ungemach empfinden, Oftmals werden sie verkehrt. Rat und Tat auf Gott gestellet, Achtet nicht, was widerbellet, Denn sein Wort ganz anders lehrt. 6. Chor Meine Augen sehen stets zu dem Herrn; denn er wird meinen Fuß aus dem Netze ziehen. (Psalm 25:15) 7. Chor Meine Tage in den Leiden Endet Gott dennoch zur Freuden; Christen auf den Dornenwegen Führen Himmels Kraft und Segen. Bleibet Gott mein treuer Schatz, 2. Chorus Lord, I long for you. My God, I hope in you. Let me not be put to shame, so that my enemies will not rejoice over me. 3. Aria S Yet I am and remain content, although at the moment here may rage cross, storm and other trials, Death, Hell, and what is theirs. Though misfortune strike the true servant, Right is and remains eternally right. 4. Chorus Lead me in your Truth and teach me; for you are the God, who helps me, I await you daily. 5. Trio A T B Cedars must, before the winds, often feel much hardship, often they will be destroyed. Place your words and deeds before God, Heed not what howls against you, Since his Word teaches otherwise. 6. Chorus My eyes gaze continually at the Lord; For he will draw my foot out of the net. 7. Chorus My days in suffering God will nevertheless end in joy; Christians upon the thorny pathways are led by Heaven s power and blessing. If God remains my dearest treasure,

Achte ich nicht Menschenkreuz; Christus, der uns steht zur Seiten. Hilft mir täglich sieghaft streiten. I need not heed mankind s cruelty; Christ, who stands by our side, Helps me daily fight to victory.

Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church Cantata for the First Sunday in Advent, BWV 61 1. Chor Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, Der Jungfrauen Kind erkannt, Des sich wundert alle Welt, Gott solch Geburt ihm bestellt. ("Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland," verse 1) 2. Rezitativ T Der Heiland ist gekommen, Hat unser armes Fleisch und Blut An sich genommen Und nimmet uns zu Blutsverwandten an. O allerhöchstes Gut, Was hast du nicht an uns getan? Was tust du nicht Noch täglich an den Deinen? Du kömmst und läßt dein Licht Mit vollem Segen scheinen. 1. Chorus Now come, Savior of the heathens, known as the Virgin's child, over whom the whole world marvels, that God had ordained such a birth for Him. 2. Recitative T The Savior has come, has taken our poor flesh and blood upon Himself and claims us as blood-brothers. O Highest Good, what have You not done for us? What do You not do still daily for Your own? You come and allow Your light to shine full of blessing. 5

3. Arie T Komm, Jesu, komm zu deiner Kirche Und gib ein selig neues Jahr! Befördre deines Namens Ehre, Erhalte die gesunde Lehre Und segne Kanzel und Altar! 4. Rezitativ B Siehe, ich stehe vor der Tür und klopfe an. So jemand meine Stimme hören wird und die Tür auftun, zu dem werde ich eingehen und das Abendmahl mit ihm halten und er mit mir. (Revelation 3:20) 5. Arie S Öffne dich, mein ganzes Herze, Jesus kömmt und ziehet ein. Bin ich gleich nur Staub und Erde, Will er mich doch nicht verschmähn, Seine Lust an mir zu sehn, Daß ich seine Wohnung werde. O wie selig werd ich sein! 6. Choral Amen, amen! Komm, du schöne Freudenkrone, bleib nicht lange! Deiner wart ich mit Verlangen. ("Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern," verse 7 refrain) 3. Aria T Come, Jesus, come to Your church and grant a blessed new year! Support the honor of Your name, uphold the sound teachings and bless the chancel and altar! 4. Recitative B Behold, I stand at the door and knock. Anyone that hears My voice and opens the door, to him I will enter and keep the evening meal with him and he with Me. 5. Aria S Open yourself, my entire heart, Jesus comes and enters in. Even though I am only dust and earth, yet He does not scorn to reveal His joy to me, so that I may be His dwelling. O how happy will I be! 6. Chorale Amen! Amen! Come, you lovely crown of joy, do not delay, I await you with longing.
