Aria BWV 516

Title:

Warum betrübst du dich und beugest dich zur Erden

Soloists:

S

Instruments:

Bc

Text:

Warum betrübst du dich und beugest dich zur Erden,
Mein sehr geplagter Geist, mein abgematter Sinn?
Du sorgst, wie will es doch noch endlich mit dir werden,
Und fährest über Welt und über Himmel hin.
Wirst du dich nicht recht fest in Gottes Willen gründen,
Kannst du in Ewigkeit nicht wahre Ruhe finden.
