- Chorale Text
German:
Ach Gott und Herr,
Wie gross und schwer
Sind mein begangne Sünden!
Da ist niemand,
Der helfen kann,
In dieser Welt zu finden.
2. Lief ich gleich wit
Zu dieser Zeit
Bis an der Welt ihr Enden
Und wollt los sein
Des Kreuzes mein,
Würd ich doch solchs nicht wenden.
--Johann Major, 1613
English:
1. Alas, my God, my sins are great,
My conscience doth upbraid me;
And now I find that at my strait
No man hath power to aid me.
2. And fled I hence in my despair
In some lone spot to hide me,
My griefs would still be with me there
And peace still be denied me.
--tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1863
