Chorale Text
German:
Herr Jesu Christ, du höchstes Gut,
Du Brunnquell aller Gnaden,
Sieh doch, wie ich in meinem Mut
Mit Schmerzen bin beladen
Und in mir hab der Pfeile viel,
Die im Gewissen ohne Ziel
Mich armen Sünder drücken.

English:
Lord Jesus Christ, thou highest good,
Thou wellspring of all mercy,
O see how I within my heart
With sorrows am sore laden
And bear the pangs of many darts,
Which in my conscience endlessly
Oppress this wretched sinner.
--tr. Z. Philip Ambrose
