Текст песни Bach BWV 125 ' Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin ' - con. John Eliot Gardiner

1. Coro
With peace and joy, I move away
according to God's will;
meekly and quietly rose
my heart and soul.
The promise of God
death has become a dream to me.
2. Aria
And my dying eyes will be
to look to you, O my faithful Savior!
Though the structure of the body is destroyed -
I do not lose heart in hope:
Jesus is with me and in death,
He will deliver me from all torment.
3. Recitativo e Choral
Oh miracle! A heart
in front of the grave hated by the flesh
and before the suffering of death
not afraid!
This is Christ doing - He is your true Son,
Faithful Savior:
already on mortal he is my bed
exalts the soul with the sweetness of heaven.
His God, you let me ripen
when in fulfilled time the hands of faith
the salvation of the Lord is embraced;
and heralded me
about the great God
Creator of everything
that He is life and salvation,
the comfort and heritage of men
deliverance from perdition
both in dying and in death.
4. Duetto
Incomprehensible fills the light
circle of the whole earth.
He shines powerfully, unceasingly
the coveted, highest promise:
whoever believes will be saved.
5. Recitativo
Oh goodness an inexhaustible treasure
which opened to people:
it becomes
to the world, which fell under the curse and wrath of the yoke,
throne of mercy
and the banner of victory
and are called into the kingdom of grace
all believers souls.
6. Choral
He is the blessed light
and the salvation of the Gentiles,
to enlighten those who do not know you
and save them.
To Israel your people
He is honor and glory, joy and fun.
