Cantata BWV 22
What a perfect text for Quinquagesima:
Chorale from BWV 22: Ertöt uns durch dein Güte, (Kill us through your kindness,) Erweck uns durch dein Gnad; (awaken us through your grace;) Den alten Menschen kränke, (make sick the old man,) Daß der neu' leben mag (so that the new man may live) Wohl hie auf dieser Erden, (well here on this earth,) Den Sinn und all Begehren (so that the mind and all desires) Und G'danken hab'n zu dir. (and thoughts may be directed to you.) via Cantata BWV 22 - English Translation [interlinear format].
