- In Dir Ist Freude, BWV 615
[3:41]
Now preceded by the Chorale, this Prelude contains a bell-like motive in the pedal which emphasizes the idea of ringing in the secular new year, and
this version saves the loudest part for last (when the chattering congregation is out on the patio and only a stalwart few hear nearly full organ).

German:
In dir ist Freude in allem Leide, O du süsser Jesu Christ!
durch dich wir habben himmlische Gaben, der du wahrer Heiland bist:
Hilfest von Schanden, rettest von banden; wer dir vertrauet,
hat wohl gebauet, wird ewig bleiben. Halleluja.
Zu deiner Güte steht unser Gmüte, An dir wir kleben
in tod und Leben, nichts kann uns scheiden. Halleluja
English:
In Thee is gladness Amid all sadness, Jesu, sunshine of my heart.
By Thee are given The gifts of heaven, Thou the true Redeemer art.
Our souls Thou wakest, OLur bonds Thou breakest, Who trusts Thee surely
Hath built securely, He stands forever, Alleluia!
Our hearts are pining To see Thy shining, Dying or living,
To Thee are cleaving, Naught can us sever. Alleluia.
