- Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier, BWV 706
[1:30]
Although the score says "Manualiter" (for Manuals alone), the bottom part makes a viable pedal. It is a very straightforward slightly decorated
homophonic version of the chorale, followed by the chorale itself in even simpler form.

German:
Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier,
dich und dein Wort unzuhören;
lenke Sinnen und Begier
auf die süssen Himmelslehren,
dass die Herzen von der Erden
ganz zu dir gezogen werden.
English:
Blessed Jesu, at Thy word
We are gathered all to hear Thee;
Let our hearts and souls be stirred
Now to seek and love and fear Thee;
By Thy teachings sweet and holy
Drawn from earth to love Thee solely.
--Tr. C. Winkworth
