Title:

Ich bin von Seufzen müde

Soloists:

A

Instruments:

Bc

Text:

Ich bin von Seufzen müde,
Mein Geist hat weder Kraft noch Macht,
Weil ich die ganze Nacht
Oft ohne Seelenruh und Friede
In großem Schweiß und Tränen liege.
Ich gräme mich fast tot und bin vor Trauern alt,
Denn meine Angst ist mannigfalt.

Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder verse 4 (paraphrased)
