Text for Cantata 200 (Fragment)
Bekennen will ich seinen Namen

Original German Text

English Translation

1. ARIA (Alt)

Bekennen will ich seinen Namen,
er ist der Herr, er ist der Christ,
in welchem aller Völker Samen
gesegnet und erlöset ist.
Kein Tod raubt mir die Zuversicht:
der Herr ist meines Lebens Licht.

I will confess his name,
he is the Lord, he is the Christ,
by whom the seed of all peoples
is blessed and redeemed.
No death can rob me of assurance:
the Lord is light of my life.


COMPOSED: February 2, between 1735 and 1749 (Leipzig) for The Purification/Presentation
