- Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder
[4:46]
Two settings treated as one, the first played on the Schwell with a bit of pedal at the end, the second on the Hauptwerk with one brief repeat on the
Positiv. Unlike many treatments the famous "Passion Chorale " is always playing, in one key or another. Uses custom set.

- Chorale Text
German:
Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder
Straf nicht in deinem Zorn,
Dein' ernsten Grimm doch linder,
Sonst ist's mit mir verlorn.
Ach Herr, wollst mir vergeben
Mein Sünd und gnädig sein,
Daß ich mag ewig leben,
Entfliehn der Höllenpein.
English:
Ah Lord, me a poor sinner
Blame not within thy wrath;
Thy solemn rage yet soften,
Else is my hope forlorn.
Ah Lord, may'st thou forgive me
My sin and mercy send,
That I have life eternal
And flee the pain of hell.
--Tr. Z. Philip Ambrose
