Mach's mit mir, Gott, nach deiner Güt', Op. 65, No. 29 Click to Listen, [0:59]
Canon at the octave between Zwelwerk Schalmei + other stops and top voice of the Hoofdwerk. Somewhat baroque sounding, but so rich and rapid that you may not take it all in the first hearing. Instrument: Vermeulen Brothers Organ at Congregation "Vloedschuur," Heteren, Holland (1959) - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl

Chorale Text
German:
Machs mit mir, Gott, nach deiner Güt
hilf mir in meinem leiden,
was ich dich bitt, versag mir nicht,
wenn meine seel will scheiden,
so nimm sie, Herr, in deine händ,
ist alles gut, wenn gut das end.

English:
Do with me, God, according to your goodness;
help me in my suffering.
What I ask you is this: do not fail me
when my soul departs;
take it, Lord, into your hands.
Everything is good if the end is good.
