Original German Text

   

1

Coro

   
       
 

GOtt, man lobet dich in der Stille zu Zion, und dir bezahlet man Gelübde.

   
       

2

Aria

   
       
 

Zahle, Zion, die Gelübde,
Zahle sie dem Höchsten aus.
Deine Hoffnung trifft dir ein,
Brunn und Qvellen sind noch rein,
Seine Treue
Baut und gründet auf das neue
Seines Nahmens Ehr und Hauß. Da Capo
Nach der Predigt.

   
       

3

Recitativo

   
       
 

Ach! du geliebte GOttes=Stadt
GOtt stehe dir noch ferner bey.
Dein Feuer, Heerd und dein Altar
Schwebt in Verfolgung und Gefahr,
Drum nimm doch deiner selbsten wahr.
Bekenne fest, und wancke nicht
Wie ein zerbrochnes Rohr, wie ein verlöschend Licht.
Bleib im Bekänntniß deiner Hoffnung
GOtt ist treu
Des sie verheissen hat.

   
       

4

Aria

   
       
 

Treu im Gläuben
Unbeweglich in der Noth
Treu im Leben, true im Todt
Müssen wahre Christen bleiben,
Daß sie nach dem frohen Sterben
Jenes Lebens Crone erben.

   
       

5

Recitativo

   
       
 

Wohlan! du heilige Gemeinde,
So thue nach dem Wort
Und reitze fort und fort
Zur Liebe; zu den guten Wercken,
Daß alle deine Feinde
Den wahren Bund
Und deiner Lehre festen Grund
Zur Folge der Gemeinschafft mercken.

   
       

6

Choral

   
       
 

Du heilige Brunst, süsser Trost,
nun hilff uns fröhlich und getrost
in deinem Dienst beständig bleiben,
die Trübsal uns nicht abtreiben,
o HErr durch dein Krafft uns bereit,
und stärck des Fleisches Blödigkeit,
daß wir hier ritterlich ringen,
durch Tod und Leben zu dir dringen,
Alleluja, Alleluja.

   

--
