Chorus
Herr Jesu Christ, wahr' Mensch und Gott,
der du littst Marter, Angst und Spott,
für mich am Kreuz auch endlich starbst
und mir deins Vaters Huld erwarbst,
ich bitt durchs bittre Leiden dein:
du wollst mir Sünder gnädig sein.
Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God
who suffered torture, anguish and derision
and died for me on the cross
gaining grace for me from your Father,
I pray, through your bitter suffering,
that you will be merciful to me a sinner.

Recitative – tenor
Wenn alles sich zur letzten Zeit entsetzet,
und wenn ein kalter Todesschweiß
die schon erstarrten Glieder netzet,
wenn meine Zunge nichts, als nur durch Seufzer spricht
und dieses Herze bricht:
genug, dass da der Glaube weiß,
dass Jesus bei mir steht,
der mit Geduld zu seinem Leiden geht
und diesen schweren Weg auch mich geleitet
und mir die Ruhe zubereitet.
Aria - soprano
Die Seele ruht in Jesu Händen,
wenn Erde diesen Leib bedeckt.
Ach ruft mich bald, ihr Sterbeglocken,
ich bin zum Sterben unerschrocken,
weil mich mein Jesus wieder weckt.
Recitative and Aria – bass
Wenn einstens die Posaunen schallen,
und wenn der Bau der Welt
nebst denen Himmelsfesten
zerschmettert wird zerfallen,
so denke mein, mein Gott, im besten;
wenn sich dein Knecht einst vors Gerichte stellt,
da die Gedanken sich verklagen,
So wollest du allein,
O Jesu, mein Fürsprecher sein
und meiner Seele tröstlich sagen:
Fürwahr, fürwahr, euch sage ich:
Wenn Himmel und Erde im Feuer vergehen,
When all are terrified of the end times
and when a cold, deathly sweat
covers my limbs which are already stiff,
when my tongue can say nothing but only sigh
and my heart breaks,
it is enough, that my faith knows
that Jesus stands by me,
and goes patiently to his suffering
and accompanies me on this difficult journey
and prepares peace for me.
My soul rests in Jesus’ hands
even though earth covers this body.
Ah, call to me soon, you tolling death bells,
I am not terrified to die
because my Jesus will awaken me.
When one day the trumpet sounds
and when the whole fabric of earth
and the firmament of heaven
shatter and fall,
then think kindly of me, my God,
as your servant stands before your judgment
and even my thoughts accuse me,
then may you alone be willing,
O Jesus, the one who speaks for me,
to say in consolation to my soul:
Truly, truly, I say to you:
even though heaven and earth perish in fire

so soll doch ein Gläubiger ewig bestehen.
Er wird nicht kommen ins Gericht
und den Tod ewig schmecken nicht.
Nur halte dich,
mein Kind, an mich:
ich breche mit starker und helfender Hand
des Todes gewaltig geschlossenes Band.
they who believe shall endure forever;
they will not come to judgment,
they will not taste eternal death.
Only cling
to me, my child:
I will break with strong and helping hand
the strongly twisted bonds of death.
Chorale
Ach, Herr, vergib all unsre Schuld,
hilf, dass wir warten mit Geduld,
bis unser Stündlein kömmt herbei.
Auch unser Glaub stets wacker sei,
dein'm Wort zu trauen festiglich,
bis wir einschlafen seliglich.
Lord, forgive all our sins,
help us to wait patiently
until the hour of our death comes.
Make our faith always vigilant,
trusting firmly in your word
until the time when we will sleep in blessedness.

Credo
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem,
factorem coeli et terrae
visibilium omnium, et invisibilium.
in unum Dominum Jesum Christum,
filium Dei unigenitum,
ex Patre natum ante omni saecula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Deum verum de Deo vero.,
genitum, non factum, Consubstantialem Patri:
per quem omnia facta sunt.
Qui nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis,
et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine.
et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato:
passus, et sepultus est.
Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum scripturas.
Et ascendit in caelum:
sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria,
judicare vivos et mortuos:
cujus regni non erit finis.
For you alone are holy.
You alone are the Lord. You alone are most high,
with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light
true God from true God
begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father
by whom all things were made.
Who for us and our salvation came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary.
and was made human.
Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again, according to scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of the Father.
He shall come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead
and of his kingdom there will be no end.

Credo in Spiritum Sanctum Dominum, et vivificantem:
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit,
qui cum Patre, et Filio
simul adoratur et conglorificatur:
qui locutus est per Prophetas.
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum.
[Et expecto resurrectionem] mortuorum.
Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.
Sanctus
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

who proceeds from the Father and the Son
who together with the Father and the Son
is adored and glorified,
who spoke to us through the prophets.
I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.
[I await the resurrection] of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
