Description: In the Chorbuch "Sängerhain" you can read under the title:

Geistliches Lied - Joh. Seb. Bach
According to the composer's "figured bass" set for mixed choir by Gust. Beckmann.

He probably took it from the Schemelli Gesangbuch (No. 874), Leipzig, 1736. It is also known as BWV 484. See e.g. recording with Karl Richter & Peter Schreier. But the Bach Cantatas Website tells us: "The melody is not by J.S. Bach and there is very little evidence that Bach had anything at all to do with the figured bass line."

Liebster Herr Jesu, wo bleibst du so lange?
Komm doch, mir wird hier auf Erden so bange,
komm doch und wenn es dir also gefällt,
nimm mich von dieser so angstvollen Welt.
Komm doch, Herr Jesu, wo bleibst du so lange?
Komm doch, mir wird hier auf Erden so bange.

Alles ist eitel, was unter der Sonne,
flüchtig die Freude, vergänglich die Wonne,
Herrlichkeit, Wollüste, Reichtum und Kunst,
alles ist schattiger Nebel und Dunst.
Darum, Herr Jesu, wo bleibst du so lange?
Komm doch, mir wird hier auf Erden so bange.

Allbereit schmücke dich, gläubige Seele,
fülle die brennende Lampe mit Öle,
auch um die Mitternacht fertig zu stehn
und zu der himmlischen Hochzeit zu gehn.
Komm doch! ach komm doch! wo bleibst du so lange?
Komm doch, mir wird hier auf Erden so bange.
