Mvt. 9

Chorale

Title:

Drum will ich, weil ich lebe noch

Choir:

SATB

Instruments:

2 Vn, Va, Bc

Text:

Drum will ich, weil ich lebe noch,
Das Kreuz dir fröhlich tragen nach;
Mein Gott, mach mich darzu bereit,
Es dient zum Besten allezeit!

Hilf mir mein Sach recht greifen an,
Dass ich mein' Lauf vollenden kann,
Hilf mir auch zwingen Fleisch und Blut,
Für Sünd und Schanden mich behüt!

Erhalt mein Herz im Glauben rein,
So leb und sterb ich dir allein;
Jesu, mein Trost, hör mein Begier,
O mein Heiland, wär ich bei dir!
