- Chorale Text
German:
Valet will ich dir geben,
Du arge, falsche Welt,
Dein sündlich böses Leben
Durchaus mir nicht gefällt.
Im Himmel ist gut wohnen,
Hinauf steht mein Begier,
Da wird Gott ewig lohnen
Dem, der ihm dient allhier.
--Valerius Herberger, 1614
English:
Farewell, I gladly bid thee,
False, evil world, farewell!
Thy life is dark and sinful,
With thee I would not dwell:
In Heav'n are joys untroubled,
I long for that bright sphere
Where God rewards them doubled
Who serve Him truly here.
--tr. Catherine Winkworth
