Original text and translations

German.png German text <poem> I. Sinfonia Oboe, Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto

II. Coro Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, Angst und Not Sind der Christen Tränenbrot, Die das Zeichen Jesu tragen.

III. Recitativo (Alto) Violino I/II, Viola I/II, Continuo, Fagotto Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen.

IV. Aria (Alto) Oboe, Continuo Kreuz und Krone sind verbunden, Kampf und Kleinod sind vereint. Christen haben alle Stunden Ihre Qual und ihren Feind, Doch ihr Trost sind Christi Wunden.

V. Aria (Bass) Violino I/II, Continuo Ich folge Christo nach, Von ihm will ich nicht lassen Im Wohl und Ungemach, Im Leben und Erblassen. Ich küsse Christi Schmach, Ich will sein Kreuz umfassen. Ich folge Christo nach, Von ihm will ich nicht lassen.

VI. Aria (Tenor) Tromba, Continuo Sei getreu, alle Pein Wird doch nur ein Kleines sein. Nach dem Regen Blüht der Segen, Alles Wetter geht vorbei. Sei getreu, sei getreu!

VII. Choral Intrumentation not given; I have assigned it to Oboe or Trumpet, Violin I/II, Viola, Bassoon, and Continuo Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan Dabei will ich verbleiben, Es mag mich auf die rauhe Bahn Not, Tod und Elend treiben, So wird Gott mich Ganz väterlich In seinen Armen halten: Drum lass ich ihn nur walten. <poem>
