- O Gott, du frommer Gott
[3:53]
The chorale is sounded as part of the soprano voice, but the Phantom Organist has doubled it on the 4' Chorale Bass with or without 4' Regal. The
ending consists of short phrases that build to a grand climax for such a short piece.

German:
O Gott, du frommer Gott,
Du Brunnquell aller Gaben,
Ohn den nichts ist, was ist,
Von dem wir alles haben,
Gesunden Leib gib mir,
Und daß in solchem Leib
Ein unverletzte Seel
Und rein Gewissen bleib.
English:
O God, thou righteous God,
Thou fountain of all blessings,
Without whom nought exists,
From whom is all our treasure,
My body grant good health,
And let within my flesh
An uncorrupted soul
And conscience pure e'er dwell.
