Recitative

Title:

Gottlob, wir wissen

Soloists:

B

Instruments:

Bc

Text:

Gottlob, wir wissen
Den rechten Weg zur Seligkeit;
Denn, Jesu, du hast ihn uns durch dein Wort gewiesen,
Drum bleibt dein Name jederzeit gepriesen.
Weil aber viele noch
Zu dieser Zeit
An fremdem Joch
Aus Blindheit ziehen müssen,
Ach! so erbarme dich
Auch ihrer gnädiglich,
Dass sie den rechten Weg erkennen
Und dich bloß ihren Mittler nennen.
