Cantata BWV 60
From Bach's Cantata BWV 60, written as only a Lutheran could write (think - Law/Gospel):
|
Fear (Alto): Mein letztes Lager will mich schrecken, My death bed will terrify me. |
|
Hope (Tenor): Mich wird des Heilands Hand bedecken, I shall be covered by my Saviour’s hand. |
|
Fear (Alto): Des Glaubens Schwachheit sinket fast, My weak faith is rapidly failing. |
|
Hope (Tenor): Mein Jesus trägt mit mir die Last. My Jesus bears my burden with me. |
|
Fear (Alto): Das offne Grab sieht greulich aus, The prospect of the open grave is terrifying. |
|
Hope (Tenor): Es wird mir doch ein Friedenshaus. For me it will be a house of peace. |
