Chorale Text
German:
Ich geh und suche mit Verlangen
Dich, meine Taube, schönste Braut.
Sag an, wo bist du hingegangen,
Dass dich mein Auge nicht mehr schaut?

English:
I go and search for thee with longing,
Thee, O my doveling,(1) fairest bride.
Tell me, where art thou left and gone now
That thee my eye no more can find?
--Tr. Z. Philip Ambrose (used by permission)
